On Monday 14 December 2015 the All Stations Liverpool Lime Street to Warrington Bank Quay via Huyton and Earlestown went electric, nearly putting a tin hat on Phase 2 of the NW Electrification Scheme, with finishing Allerton Depot Phase 3, Roby-Huyton 4th track and two footbridge guards the only things left to do.
On the first day of the Bank Quay electric service a Northern Electrics Class 319 approaches Earlestown from the west.

Was passiert, wenn ein Designer und seine Frau auf ein junges Winzer-Pärchen treffen? Genau großartiges! Uns so präsentieren wir voller Stolz unsere neue Weinline: „Electrified“
Außen überzeigen die Weine mit einem monstermäßig coolen Design. Was haben die drei Kandidaten „White Lightning“, „Mailas Legacy“ und „Blood Count“ gemeinsam? Es handelt sich nicht um ein Produkt, dass nur mit seinem Äußeren punkten kann. Es handelt sich um hervorragende, deutsche Qualitätsweine, die mit viel Liebe, Leidenschaft und einer ordentlichen Portion Geschick für das Winzer*innen Handwerk hergestellt wurden und einfach elektrisierend wirkt.
Jeder Wein hat seine eigene kleine Geschichte zu erzählen, die ihr gern in der Weinbeschreibung auf unserer Website nachlesen könnt.

The electrification equivalent of a green shoot.
One of several marker posts to show where a mast will go.
I believe:
MG/39/14 is the number of the mast, in the format MG = route (Manchester to the WCML), 39 is Section 39 in that route, 14 is mast 14 in that section.
39.4020 is the distance in km from a known "datum point" at Man Vic
RECO: 7.5m=depth the base is to be driven or dug into the ground
Down line=northbound (in this instance) on the Bolton to Euxton Junction Line
This is rather posher than their equivalents on the Liverpool-Manchester scheme, which I never saw adorned with a label.
This stake is behind the northbound (Down) platform.
Overhead wiring along the single track headshunt now appears to be attached to new masts along its whole length.
The new mast is paler than the 1960s gantry, to which the new wires are not connected.
The track furthest from camera is the headshunt. The track between it and my train is the bi-directional 3rd rail electrified Merseyrail line to Hunts Cross. It also has 25kV overhead.
Taken from a Lime Street to Manchester Oxford Road stopper, looking north.

Wrinkley added: "There are now four TTCs and three masts covering platforms 1 and 2."

Whilst the last phase of Huyton Junction re-quadrupling was taking place services from Wigan to Lime Street were terminating at St Helens Central, with rail replacement buses on to Lime St and stations between. The trains reversed at St Helens, forming northbound services. This entailed using the station's trailing crossover, which had not long been electrified for this eventuality. That crossover is otherwise little used and never normally used by passenger services.
This sequence of shots runs through the track and signalling work needed to perform these manoeuvres.
The bustitution involved a significant adjustment to road traffic, with the north car park given over to buses.

The Ince Moss Chord (ELR = IMG) is a sharply curved, bi-directional single track which joins the Huyton to Wigan line to the West Coast Main Line.
The chord meets the Huyton to Wigan 'Lancashire Union Line' (ELR = SBH3) at Ince Moss Junction and the WCML here at Bamfurlong Sidings Junction.
The three lines, the two junctions mentioned above and Springs Branch Junction form a triangle
As part of the current electrification works the chord has been relaid and resignalled. It was double track, as is implied by the sign to the right of shot and on Google Earth. As always, the complicated layout is clearly displayed in 'Railway Track Diagrams, Midlands and North West' where it appears in Section 27A.
This shot is taken a couple of hundred yards from Photo 3162s, further north along the chord, looking past the signal protecting the junction. The lines coming in from the left are the Up and Down Goods Lines. The Up and Down Fast are beyond the junction, as will be seen in following photos.
The second mast from camera marks the current limit of electrification on the chord, the last 100 yards or so to the junction are unwired. Note the heritage (c1974) masts to the left of the single track. As has happened elsewhere - notably Earlestown east and Wavertree - these have not been incorporated into the new setup. In this case the general tendency to ignore the old metalwork is exacerbated by the fact that the old masts are in the wrong positions for the singled track.
Taken through the pallisade fence which separates the tracks from the public footpath which follows the chord for some distance, looking southeast.

More bases have been installed over the past two weeks. Only two are missing near the bridge.
Here's one recent one.

Return wires seen in the previous shots of Singleton Bank extend under the M55 then under this bridge.
A reminder of one of the many reasons the Bolton Line electrification has taken extra time and money - the massive concrete structure immediately beyond the bridge had to be devised and built in short order following a burst water main.

Not very happy, but I´m not a professional!!😀, so, here it is, take a look into the isolators from the electrical post, very nice light! I was trying to get some meteors from last night, but, because the high humidity, and high clouds, not possible.

The wiring on the chord now appears complete, unlike in photos in the 3162 series where the last 100 yards to the junction remained unwired.

We believe the location from which we took this shot is legal and safe, though it definitely warrants stout footwear, preferably wellies. At no time did we pass any signs, or breach the railway's admirably complete pallisade fencing.
This is on teh Bolton side of Euxton Junction.

He added this note to this batch of eighteen pictures:
"The Bolton-bound (southbound) track has been relaid south from the junction to about 100 metres beyond Beaumont Road, one photo shows the temporary joint between old and new track.
Looking at my photos today and some poor quality Google Earth satellite imagery from 2000, 2005 and 2013, the distance between the track centre has increased from about 4.5 metres to 6.7 metres. Maybe this explains the big pile of spoil which appeared then disappeared from the side of the bridge. The dirt road by the north side of the track must have been moved further north.
The ballast train was stopped at the junction when I arrived, but it made two runs to drop the ballast while I was there. The possession end at 5.15 am tomorrow (Monday)."

Back to Dorridge Station in the rain.
I had hoped for it to be drier in Dorridge, but was a bit too wet. Did find a park before I headed back to the station.
The London Midland service to Dorridge terminates at platform 3. While Chiltern Railways uses platforms 1 and 2 (not all trains stop there). On a Sunday's, the London Midland service to / from Dorridge is one per hour.
The station was built by the Great Western Railway in 1852, on their line from Birmingham to Oxford. In the past, the station was known as Knowle and Dorridge, as it also serves the nearby village of Knowle. Prior to electrification of the former LMS line from London Euston to Birmingham New Street the former GWR London Paddington - Birkenhead Woodside trains passed through the station but did not stop.
The station was renamed from Knowle to Dorridge on 6 May 1974.
distant footbridge and level crossing at Mill Lane.
For some reason the view from the station, the tracks seem to curve around.
