I was somewhat surprised last week to see that all the edge stones on the recently built platform 4 at Roby have been lifted, before anyone had a chance to board a train there.
I don't know the reason for this, perhaps it was built in the wrong place, or the requirements have since changed.
At Huyton, platform 4 will be closed along with the northern access to the station, from 7 August. Some pallets of building materials have been delivered to the platform, suggesting that similar work is to be undertaken here.
