I still wonder whether in the years to come if the loss of four tracking from Broadgreen will become a major issue and that steps will be taken to remedy the situation? I still think there is sufficient clearance to get at least one track through Wavertree Tech Station on the southern side as...
Agree any change to the road system at Broadgreen would likely cause considerable traffic congestion and not be cheap. However, I would point out that the majority of the obstruction is caused by the present eastbound slip road. If this could be re-sited nearer the junction with Rocky Lane and...
There is probably sufficient space to put a third track through Wavertree Tech Park station on the south side of the station which would be at platform level. However, on the north side the ramp which runs from Olive Mount junction to the point where a bridge that used to cross the Chat Moss...

Could the delay in new Merseyrail stock be anything to do with the fact that there are several schemes in the offering and thus the lifetime of the proposed stock that would prevent a straight upgrade? For example schemes such as Bidston to Wrexham which is also being pushed by the Welsh...

With Chat Moss route electrified, surely the idea must be to maximise the number of services using electric traction on the route. Moving the Lime Street /Manchester Airport services via the Cheshire Lines route using 150/156traction would probably seem to defeat the object if the service could...
