Looking at the photograph of the damage done at Kirkby station, I think that it will be several weeks at least before train services will be able to able to resume. I wonder if this emergency rail replacement will continue throughout the closure of Kirkby or whether the Kirkby line will operate as far as Fazakerley.

I think services will remain completely suspended. The Kirkby line comes under one substation. As such, whilst the recovery work is in progress, the power is off between Rice Lane and Kirkby.
