Ormskirk Branch Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ormskirk Branch Line is a railway line running from Preston in Lancashire, England, to Ormskirk, on the Lancashire border with Merseyside.
The railway stations on the branch line are;
These trains pass through the Lancashire city of Preston, and the towns of Croston, Rufford, Burscough and Ormskirk.
The line is controlled by Preston Power Signal Box (PSB) from where it leaves the WCML at Farington Curve Jn by Track Circuit Block signalling regulations until Midge Hall Signal Box. From here until Rufford Signal Box, the trains are signalled by Electric Token Block regulations, and from Rufford to Ormskirk the train is signalled by One Train Working with Token regulations. If at any time there is a problem with either the Token machine or [track circuit]s showing occupied, then PILOTMAN working must be implemented.
