Birkenhead Central railway station is currently undergoing renovation of the platforms. Here is a photo of the work in progress (from a week or so ago):-
Whilst waiting for the train, I have noticed this large tank of green liquid on the platform:-
Presumably it's related to the renovation somehow. Purely out of curiosity, I have pondered what this liquid could be and what it is for, but can't see how it is related to laying the new platform surfaces.
I have posted this question on another (non-rail) forum.
Suggestions have ranged from weed killer to anti-freeze to fuel (for the diggers) and even (jokingly) fairy liquid, but no-one is certain what this stuff is.
Does anyone here know what this stuff could be and what it is used for? Thanks for any possible suggestions!
The main reason I ask is that I uploaded the photo of the tank to the Wikimedia Commons free media repository and really, I should enter a useful description of what this is.
