Lime Street New Layout

This morning's restart of normal services did not go well, a number of cancellations and an awful lot of late running, although none of this seemed to be related to the new layout at Lime Street.

I took a trip down to Lime Street to see things for myself.  Starting at Platforms 1 and 2 (Using the old platform numbers.) the temporary signals are bagged and the crossover is fixed out of use:

Looking out from the end of platform 2 you can see the layout for platforms 1 to 4 is unchanged:

There's quite a lot of work to be done on the two new platforms, although the track is in place and connected up:

At the far end of platform 7 you can see the new layout:

Platform 8 is currently closed, 9 is in use:

Finally, walking to the end of nine revealed a new mast base for the electrification of the new platforms:

I have updated my live map to reflect the new situation.
