Today I got a Cheshire ranger and did Frodsham Junc - Halton Junc (TfW Chester to Liverpool), Chester - Hooton, Ellesmere Port - Helsby, Earlstown west platform and Weaver Junc Southbound. A bit cold and dark by the time I'd finished but that's everything (passenger lines) on Merseyside completed

Was "put inside" at the loop between Theale and Aldermaston due to the late running Cornish Riviera this morning. The Penzance service is timed to leave Reading ten min before the Newbury.

31st December, so just counts as 2024:

Beaulieu Park station new up loop alongside southern flank of the new island platform. Has been available since Sunday 29th. Former up track in situ, but until station opens (hopefully 2025) seems to be OOU for the moment.
