RE: Huyton/Roby Platform 4
If I remember correctly, I think December 2017 was given as the date when the 4th track would be up and running.

Thats a lot longer than i was expecting as work looks almost complete! Cheers for the info anyway

RE: Huyton/Roby Platform 4
The initial delay has been due to the fact that there was some kind of objection to building on the land but I wouldn't be surprised if the date changes. Initially I was thinking it may be moved forward (possibly being included in works currently being carried out in the area) although given the delays to the current phase of electrification, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets moved back.

At Huyton a TWAO was needed to obtain land , which Network Rail did not own .

TWAO is a Transport and Works Act Order.

The extra bit of land needed is between Huyton Station and Huyton Junction. It was sold off when the railway was reduced to two tracks.

Couple of bits here:

Those diagrams do make it a lot easier to understand what is going on at Huyton , Huyton once finished will look a lot busier than it presently is and will give some more flexibility in the timetable to add more trains without having axe any existing services .
