The relaying in preparation for electrification in the Kirkham area is progressing although without any masts yet. Work is concentrating on realigning the track having reduced from 4 tracks to two at the moment although a third is to be reinstated with its own platform. This view on 27th October 2017 looks west, with Kirkham North Jct SB on the right beyond the second road bridge. The Preston to Blackpool line closes w.e.f. 11 November until March 2018 to allow for significant work at several locations (although the Blackpool South line will reopen at the end of January 2018).
