Things are really moving at Huyton now. The rear part of the bus station has been closed off, and behind the telephone exchange a small length of the wall has been demolished.
The blocks of local sandstone recovered are neatly stacked, presumably for re-cycling. (Many old walls locally are built of the same stone, and I've dug up a couple of broken pieces from my own garden.)
According to the knowledgeable gentleman at the recent drop-in event, the closeness of the new line to the telephone exchange building will require a strong barrier in case of derailments, which I must say seems a little over the top to me. He also advised me that the signalling and track works will be performed during a nine day closure next September.
