Yes, that's them in photo 1418. I think it makes it look as if they ran out of stone sets. The entrance to the station car park is between the pub and the station and is alongside platform one. It only holds about 10 cars, at a push. There's a locked gate to the platform but car drivers enter...

Thanks for another great set of photos, LDECRexile. In answer to your query on photo 1580 Huyton re the car park. Your photo shows the car park used by the contactors working at Huyton and Roby. It's just at the entrance to TJ (?) Mays Haulage yard, and garage, which runs parallel to...

The possibility of a congestion problem was raised in one of the early consultation documents and is a very real one. The stairs and subway are quite narrow and can get congested now. If the lifts were out of action prams etc would add to the problem. I do realise that if this work was to have...

It doesn't look as if the access to the public subway from platforms 2 and 3, at Huyton Station, is being re-instated. This leaves the steps/lift down into the station subway as the only entrance/exit point and even now the steps and subway can get congested if trains are in at both platforms...

Further to the base on the Huyton village/BT side of the 4th track there's now a partner one between the 2nd and 3rd tracks and another one between the 2nd and 3rd just eastwards. I think quite a few large sandstone blocks were recovered from the walls of the village side subway. Originally...

Thanks for the welcome Gralistair and LDECRexile! I noticed, this afternoon, that a stanchion base has been installed just at the top of the Huyton subway ramp where it's nearest to the track. ie near the telephone exchange where the 4th track will be.. As I type this (at 00.55) I can hear...

DJH1971. The original track 1 ran very close to the entire footpath but the new track 1 one is much further away, at the easterly end, gradually coming closer as you reach the station end, where it's very close. There's a base already installed between the path and track 1 about 50 odd metres...

Whoops! I'm getting ahead of myself. The overnight piling work near Huyton Station commences on Sunday 31.08.14 which, of course, is NEXT week!!

Hi All, Just discovered this forum! I live quite close to Huyton Station and most days use the public footpath that runs alongside track 1 towards the station. The railway is closed today and there's a team of about 10 shifting ballast off the sleepers on track 1 from the station eastwards. As...
