    Mayor of Liverpool announces new station

    To use a classic expression of my late mother, this proposed station is 'neither my arse or my elbow! ' The Royal is well served by bus routes, the University also, and not much of a walk up from Lime Street station for young students. What is a railway station sited there set to achieve...

    Merseyside: New stations planned

    Mutant Lemming...... I was laughing out loud at your bus timings! I live slap bang between the 10/9/8 route and the 15 so I use all these services on a daily basis. The following is of course for terms times... In the morning rush hour from the Kentucky on East Prescot Road to Dale...

    Merseyside: New stations planned

    Merseyside: New stations planned

    I sent the following email to the Echo and Roger Phillips. Roger read this out on his phone in show on Thursday (is on the iPlayer at around 24 mins) but no sign of anything yet in the Echo! And so, another MerseyTravel plan and more MerseyDrivel! This organisation which specialises in lack...

    Merseyside: New stations planned

    Well the cat is out off the bag and the plan is now on the MPTE website. Quite a lot of detailed plans as have been discussed in this thread, IE Tuebrook station re-opening etc/Speke airport connections etc... For me an ex-Gateacre resident, huge disappointment. No mention of the outer loop...
