Picture of the Day
As part of the ‘Great North Rail Project’, the Preston to Blackpool line will be closed from 11 November 2017 until 25 March 2018 to allow electrification of the route. This will also include re-signalling of the line and will lead to the closure of the mechanical signal boxes and removal of semaphore signals. The route will then be controlled from the Manchester Operations Centre. On 19 October 2017, Northern Class 156 unit No. 156441 William Huskisson MP (with 156427) passes the doomed home starter bracket signal at Poulton-le-Fylde with the 11.29 Manchester Airport to Blackpool North service. The redundant post on the right once controlled access to the Fleetwood line (closed in 1999), which curved away to right just beyond the road bridge.
