The Changing Network
A Class 158 DMU departs for York on the 1B29 service. The semaphores and Blackpool North No2 signal box in this scene will survive until November 2017 when the station will close for 3 months as part of the Network upgrade with electrification and new signalling. The tracks to the right leading to platforms 1 & 2 have already been taken up and the semaphores removed to create a simpler track layout to make faster train arrivals and departures.
