ON certain dates from January passenger trains appear in the pdf WTT and RTT as calling at the parcels platform - looks as though P3 and P4 are either shut or restriced use for around a month each.

It's certainly been used before when the roof has been damaged e.g. by high winds. Usually ends up numbered platform 7, which is a bit confusing as it's next to 1, perhaps 0 would be better.

One such that I have found (it's late so this is the result of a very quick flick through RTT) is the 1221 Colne [CNE] to Blackpool South [BPS] as seen here :

Not a bad idea - while the tiling looks nice it can get rather slippy in the wet.

I was just looking across at the Res island on Monday, thinking how this could make a much nicer interchange than the P1/2 slum.
There's no bridge connection though, so the subway must provide access somehow.

Yes it was. Trains ran to Ansdell and Fairhaven from the northern end of the platform. Lots of temporary lighting was installed along with crowd control barriers.

Wonder how they will secure the NR depot then?
