Photo by Jim Peden Looking east at Hunts Cross East Junction on 23 April 1960. A Liverpool Central train is seen heading west along the down fast main line. The view clearly illustrates the arrangement of the Hunts Cross east junction. The two main lines are right and the slow lines are to the left. Diverging to the left from the slow lines is the North Liverpool Extension Line. The Halewood sidings are beyond the bridge seen in the distance.
