Bolton
Northern services between Blackpool and Manchester via Bolton have been replaced by buses for engineering work at Bolton station since 12 August and should have returned to normal on 28 August 2017. Unfortunately a burst water main at Moses Gate damaged an overbridge and surrounding earthworks delaying the re-opening. On 05 September 2017 Northern were able to operate a limited shuttle service between Blackpool and Bolton prior to the line being re-opened throughout on 06 September 2017. In this view southwards, a pair of Class 150s wait to head back to Blackpool from platform 4. On the right behind the barrier, the 'new' platform 5 continues to take shape with track and signalling in place.
