Rainford Junction
A Blackburn bound Northern Franchise Class 150 DMU is seen at Rainford Junction Station having just left the singled line from Kirkby. The junction is no longer a junction and the line which would originally have run into Liverpool is now severed at Kirkby with Merseyrail operating the Kirkby - Liverpool section of line. In operational terms that's about as daft as the similar set up on the line from Liverpool to Ormskirk and Preston where that line is severed at Ormskirk. Here's a bit of history of the line in this photo c/o Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainford_railway_station
