Hi i am new to all this so could someone clarify something for me.
Some people are saying there were to be no movements on this line apart from the steamer but if there was a closure on the WCML say at Euxton Balshaw Lane due to a line side fire or dare i say it tresspass would the TPE trains from to Glasgow & Edinburgh from Manchester not be diverted down this line?
Unless blocked by engineering work, the Bolton line is available for any train to use. A tamper, ballast train, norrhern ECS . Most TPE trains are electric so until then line has been officially sanctioned for electric trains then they can't use it, but TPE occasionally use diesel units on the Scottish services so there is no reason they couldn't divert.
