The 1E56 09.22 Chester to Leeds Northern service rattles over the pointwork to the immediate southwest of Helsby station. Consecutively numbered Civitys 195015 and 195014 are working the service, the same two that were seen a little earlier heading in the opposite direction. Notice the sidings to the right of the train. I am not at all sure as to why they have been retained, perhaps some local knowledge can enlighten me? However, whatever their purpose they have not seen any use for a long time and I suspect that they are ripe for disconnection and removal.
