Going into Liverpool this morning, noticed some excavation work between here and Tuebrook sidings.
Anyone know of any developments going on?

Below Matalan Store etc - along side the wall? I understand its another location in connection with the re-signalling scheme to Weaver Junction but could be wrong - probably I am. At Speke Junction which is the main base for the resignalling scheme, new roads, car park, two storey portacabins, palasade fencing, electricity and tele communications have all been put in (& still on going) with a nice "Buckinghams" sign near to the main gate. As far as I can gather, it is "Siemens" who are providing the goods for the resignalling scheme.
Some of the above was partly covered in the L&M Electrification thread in December if that helps - http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=60290&page=366

I wondered what was happening at Speke.

I thought it was something to do with the impending closure of Lime Street station later this year, and where rail replaced coaches would be stabled.
However, I heard from a bloke working for Northern just before Christmas is that there may not be a nine 9 day closure due to logistical problems, and would be doing it on a bit by bit basis instead.

Passed Edge Hill yesterday, it is definitely a work compound for Buckingham's - their sign has been put up by the white portacabins. Also when arrived in Lime Street Station, the old RM Sorting facility building is now getting dismantled.
