Things are moving on rapidly:
The "missing" steps in the public subway which were bare rebar on Tuesday night were being cemented on Wednesday morning.
The shelter on platform 2 has been demolished.
Ballasted track has appeared through platform 3 and onwards towards Huyton Junction. You can see the temporary "bridge" between platforms 3 and 4 in the distance in this shot taken from the east end of the station on the new pedestrian access to platform 4.
Here's the same view as I showed last week and the week before, looking east along the edge of platform 3 from the temporary bridge. As you can see, apart from platform edging and surfacing, it's nearly there.
Looking the other way from the same place, towards Liverpool. There is a decided kink in the track which strongly suggests the signal box will be demolished next week.
Finally, the new subway staircase on platform 4. I'm not sure why they've boarded over the hole. Perhaps to keep the rain out until a roof is installed?
Elsewhere, new signals are appearing throughout the area, folded down or standing up.
Spotted signals (and cabling trays) as far as Lea Green today. Also, there appears to be lots of track sections stacked on top of the 3rd track - are they going to be laying part/most of the 4th track too?
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked this week, but I think the stacked track is mainly the bits for Huyton Junction.
