Departed on time from Blackpool.

The 2303 is defo cancelled, the 0003 is currently at the platform at Blackpool pathed as 323212 and 323224

AT wires now up and stretch from Blackrod towards Adlington.

My eyes have indeed deceived me whilst driving past, the mast on the platform at Blackrod hasn’t yet got its top half it’s the one behind it I caught glimpse of, will keep aclook out this weekend though

Al keep mi eye on that, I was talking to an Orangeman last week and they are on with mast bases on the station plus bonding everything to earth

There’s one of those on a base with a mast on right next to Anderton Hall Crossing

I reckon there may be a chance that once Volker have finished on the Blackpool/Preston they may come onto Preston/Manchester, hopefully anyway

I’m beginning to think that if they actually blitz the stations and progress like it is at the moment May/June might not be so far off, I still think around July though as there’s still those issues south of Bolton

As scheduled Poulton Signal Box is no more and was demolished today. New mast has appeared on the down next to Harper’s Lane Bridge in Chorley looks like a TTC one

Thats them Dave :)

The wiring train numbers were DR98009 DR98012 and DR98014 passed through Leyland at 23.20 returning to Crewe :)

We’ve got wires :lol::lol: Just been down to Lostock Lane Bridge and wires are up from as far back towards Lostock Station, they stop short Just past the work site access point, The wiring train has certainly been busy I’m guessing it’ll be back at weekend, the areas ready look to be between...

Al try my best ;)

Many thanks for that detailed post Dave, very informative as always :D, I’m on late shifts shortly so will keep an eye out from Blackrod towards Preston, I know they have been installing the raised concrete bases in the cutting At Chorley just before the tunnel nightly recently, I’ve also...

I was thinking that but wasn’t sure, Is that the one I photographed with the new fencing being put on the other week

Just seen on twitter that they are installing foundations at Red Moss in Horwich this weekend, it looked as though all the masts were up along that stretch:rolleyes:

Just watched that small video, looks like that pillar has gone back in lol now the span is on o_O:lol:

Iiiii rekon somethings misaligned or it doesn’t sit right and another has to be fabricated or that one took out faffed around with

Fine by me

Cheers Dave Plenty of work trackside at Chorley, new mast at Blackrod and a new large base about to be constructed as per photos, it’s odd where these bad ground contortions seem to be but nonetheless they seem to be getting amongst it
