    19:54 is the approximate location of the new Headbolt Lane station, for those interested.

    Thanks for this, I used to watch the trains between Pemberton and Orrell when I was a kid, huge long goods trains that would have taken the Wigan Wallgate avoiding line and rejoined the main line at Hindley North, :-)

      That avoiding line has gone for good.

    That is one long block section to Rainsford. I suppose no point in putting in Intermediate Block signals because of the single line to the stub terminus. Although I see the rails do run through under the rubbish.

    One of the very few lines I've not travelled over. Yet. Something I'll rectify at some point.....

    Anyone know why the section of line from Rainford to Kirkby is single-track when the rest of the line is double-track?

    Very interesting to see that journey from the cab, made it many times as a passenger.
    Really wish Northern would sort out their announcements though, that destination is pronounced "Kerr-bee", not as the spelling suggests " Kerk-bee". They don't pronounce Huyton as "Hooyeeton" so why they can't be bothered to get it right here I don't know.

    On the 'token' section of single-track just before Kirkby, at 19.08, a set of points appears, leading to what looks like an industrial siding with a gate. How would access to/from this bit of track be controlled in the apparent absence of any signalling ?
    On other parts of the line there are 'painted' 'distant' semaphore-arms on boards: how would these be seen at night, assuming that they have to be looked out for as would 'true' signals of any type ?

      The Token is also a key to operate the points locally. As for the painted Distant, this has a magnet which give you a warning sound
