    Possible improvements to services serving Ellesmere Port

    I hope I am wrong but I think there's too much housing in the way. The Stanney Grange estate is being expanded 1602610429 Agreed

    I don't think that's possible, sadly 1602603971 you mean a bus? Along Stanney Lane?

    Possible improvements to services serving Ellesmere Port

    exactly 1602599900 Im sure Merseyrail are aware of that. They are keen to expand their empire.. let's see what happens

    Possible improvements to services serving Ellesmere Port

    Correct. But maybe Merseyrail calculate that it would be better to have a service running to Helsby and backrather than dwelling at Ellesmere Port.Who knows?

    Possible improvements to services serving Ellesmere Port

    I DID NOT THINK YOU COULD TRAVEL DIRECT FROM EP TO CHESTER WITHOUT CHANGING AT HOOTON. THEREFORE GOING FROM EP TO MANCHESTER VIA CHESTER WOULD BE TWO CHANGES CURRENTLY, AND JUST ONE CHANGE VIA HELSBY IF AN EASTWARDS SERVICE FROM EP WERE INTRODUCED.

    Possible improvements to services serving Ellesmere Port

    IT COULD CERTAINLY HELP THOSE WANTING TO TRAVEL FROM THE WIRRAL TO MANCHESTER WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO CHESTER OR LIVERPOOL FIRST. CHANGE AT HELSBY.

    Possible improvements to services serving Ellesmere Port

    Hopefully you are right and battery power will be the answer. But do you think there is the will from Merseyside to extend their services further into West Cheshire? What's in it for them?

    Proposed withdrawal of Ellesmere Port - Manchester - Leeds trains

    Hopefully anyone needing to travel to Helsby from Ellesmere Port or Little Sutton, Overpool or Hooton for onward connections to Manchester and beyond will in future be served by Merseyrail services using new bi-mode 777 trains with battery power beyond the third rail limit at Ellesmere Port. Or...

    Under/Over-Served areas in the network.

    It would be much easier to do this if the Leamside line were re-opened

    Why was the decision taken to build Moorfields instead of use Liverpool Exchange station?

    Thank you all for the many informative and interesting comments about Exchange. I only began the thread as a bit of whimsy as I remember having a pint in the pub opposite the former station a few years ago, and thinking how amazing it was that the frontage had been retained against the trend...

    Why was the decision taken to build Moorfields instead of use Liverpool Exchange station?

    my thoughts exactly, but as has been intimated earlier I am not really qualified to have an opinion on this matter 1602272305 ah well; it was just a thought. That Moorfields station really does need rebuilding though, its such a disgrace

    Why was the decision taken to build Moorfields instead of use Liverpool Exchange station?

    Haha!! None whatsoever. Just like the look of the frontage at Exchange.I leave all the technical stuff to the experts. If it's not possible then it's not possible.

    Why was the decision taken to build Moorfields instead of use Liverpool Exchange station?

    That's very informative and helpful. Thank you. I wonder, is it too late? Raze the carbuncle to the ground... negotiate with the current owners of the Exchange building.. and redirect escalators down to the platforms from inside. Simples? Probably not. But what a hub/destination that would be!

    Why was the decision taken to build Moorfields instead of use Liverpool Exchange station?

    Can anyone tell me why Liverpool Exchange Station, with its magnificent frontage, was not used as the portal for the replacement Moorfields underground station nearby? Moorfields is an ugly carbuncle of a building and certainly does not deserve to represent such a busy and important interchange...

    If you could create any direct services which currently don’t run which would you choose?

    reopen Leamside line and introduce Middlesbrough-Washington-Newcastle

    Which infrastructure projects do you think should now be prioritised?

    How about reopening the Leamside line through County Durham to Newcastle and Sunderland? It would please a lot of newly elected Conservative MPs there. Not forgetting those that switched their allegiance to them
