March 2015 an enthusiasts' excursion titled "Sabrina's Tea Train" traversed the line. A quarter-mile headshunt which ends at bufferstops approx 50 yards east of Bridge 13 over Edge Green Lane is the sole remaining section of the original route in use. Re-Opening After purchasing the land surrounding the line at Edge Green in 2011, PF Jones Ltd worked with Hansons to restore the Kelbit line off the Haydock Branch Curve. The Kelbit line re-opens in 2018 and will be used by Hanson's to transfer raw materials from Shap Quarry, Cumbria to distribute across the north west. Between and Golborne and Glazebrook High Speed 2 will use an alignment similar to the disused line in Phase 2b.
