I visited Huyton station once again today:
Line 1 (Down Chat Moss Fast) is back in place, it has been relaid through the station, unlike line 2 (Down Chat Moss Slow) where the original track remains alongside the platform.
As you can see, line 1 still awaits ballasting, but is otherwise complete.
Here are the two signals just east of Huyton station. The far one is for Up trains on line 3 (Up Chat Moss) with a position 1 junction indicator for trains towards Wigan. The nearer one seems to be a new head on the original structure. It is for trains reversing in platform 2 before heading towards Manchester.
NEWSFLASH FOR DATA GEEKS: Since 11:25 this morning the Network Rail train describer data feed has been showing describer heartbeat and other signalling messages from describer "M1" which I believe is the new signalling here at Huyton.
UPDATE 19:30: Line 1 has been ballasted during the afternoon.
