Right next to the famous prison, and only a 200yd walk from Rice Lane on the Kirkby line, Walton is on the Merseyrail Ormskirk line. Just beyond the colour light signal in this picture a cutting can be seen on the left. This is the Kirkby line which is joined at Walton Junction just round the corner. 508117 is heading for Liverpool, European Capital of Culture 2008 (having taken over the crown from Sibiu).
