Liverpool to get new £100M railway station

Images have been released of the £100M Liverpool Baltic railway station, one of four such schemes planned by recently re-elected Liverpool City Region Mayor, Steve Rotheram.

The other stations are at Daresbury in Halton, Woodchurch on the Wirral and Carr Mill in St Helens. All of the projects are expected to be complete by 2030.

Mr Rotheram said: “Since I have been Mayor, I have worked around the clock to ensure our area has better connectivity so that people get to enjoy a reliable, accessible, affordable and integrated public transport network that helps, rather than hinders people getting around.

“There are some unique challenges with the design of the site given that the station platform is subterranean. However, these plans for Liverpool Baltic further demonstrate our ambitions for the future of transport in our area.”

The Baltic station will include step-free access, passenger waiting facilities, toilets, cycle parking and links to an enhanced local active travel network.

Network Rail Sponsor, Maisie Hogan, said: “We are pleased to see the CGI images bring the exciting plans for Liverpool Baltic station to life.

“We welcome the investment in the rail network and we’re delighted to be working with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and other stakeholders to deliver this and the other schemes.”
