The line from Liverpool to Preston was cut in two at Ormskirk at some time around 1980. South of here is electrified to Liverpool as can be seen from the third rail here. North to Preston, beyond these buffers, remains diesel-operated. The single platform (originally just for southbound trains) is thus divided into platforms 1 (Liverpool) and 2 (Preston). Compare my earlier view Image from my only other visit to the station thirty years earlier. A larger stop board has been added to the buffers for trains from Preston.
