Railhead treatment train at Liverpool Central

Saperstein · 3 Feb 2020

Hi,

This RHTT passed Liverpool Central on the Hunts X platform at 1742 today.

I couldn’t see it on RTT and wondered what working it was.

Also what sort of Railhead treatment these actually do?

Obviously not cold enough for de-icing so what else?

Thanks

It was 51 early at Central, on its way to Hunts Cross

It is on RTT: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C00200/2020-02-03/detailed
It may help if the ordering is set as 'actual' rather than 'planned'. That way, anything running significantly out of course (early or late) will appear on the list at the place you expect to see it.

Too early for weed, not cold enough for ice. Most likely water and sand
