THE
LIVERPOOL (ORMSKIRK) LINE |
|
UNDER
CONSTRUCTION
Although
there are still direct trains to Liverpool from Preston, these are rather
indirect, running via Wigan North Western. The direct line is still in
place, but is treated as two separate lines, with a change required at
Ormskirk from a Northern Rail service to a Merseyrail EMU. It has
been suggested many times that the third-rail electrification should be
extended to Preston, allowing through services between the two cities to
resume.

at Farington Curve Jct. This train used to split at Preston, the
other portion going to Manchester Victoria. Today, the line is
singled to Ormskirk.
