The detailed look at Headbolt Lane: ua-cam.com/users/shortslVU9o3dlj38?si=HHC3joEMXC5Ijkj6 This video was meant to be out a few days ago - However, I decided to render it again in 4K, since I took the videos in 4K anyway. Either way, the tour of the station will be out soon, enjoy!
If you listen at around 17.20 you can hear an air / pneumatic sound on the approach to Fazakerley. That's the 3rd rail shoes lifting. As you note in the video, from Fazakerley the 777/1s run on battery. On the return journey they pick up the 3rd rail at Kirkby. I had a good chat with one of the Merseyrail staff regarding the transition from 3rd rail to battery when we were on one of the Headbolt Lane services.
