Train movements to address Rust/Contaminated Rail build up
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Until further notice the preferred running of trains travelling between Birkenhead and Pelican Point is as follows: -
Where possible, all trains towards Pelican Point to traverse the East Track.
All trains from Pelican Point to traverse the West track.

Additionally, the Largs North Crossover (77/77A) points should be traversed within a 72hour period.

The purpose of this is to reduce rust/contamination build up which may affect track circuits and level crossing operation. If trains have not travelled over the West Track or 77/77A points within a 72hour period, the track circuits must be re-certified by qualified staff.
