He added: "I went for a walk along the line yesterday. A lot of plant and materials, but no activity, it must be a night job as they are very close to the track.
They are replacing or putting in new drainage starting at the existing ditch that runs towards Bolton from just west of Ladybridge on the north side of the line. It then goes under the line to the south side and and they are currently about 100yds short of Beaumont Road bridge. It looks like it will go all the way back to Lostock station, judging from the amount of material. Murphys have set up camp just past the station car park.
They have pulled all the old concrete cable ducting to one side, so they must be replacing that as well. There’s some minor tree trimming, but that’s just to get their plant down the track.
You will see from the photos that there are now bollards at each end of the Ladybridge."
