ECHO readers have had their say on future stops
In the first policy pledge of his campaign for re-election to a third term, Labour’s Steve Rotheram announced his intention to build new stations at Woodchurch on the Wirral, Carr Mill in St Helens and Daresbury in Halton by 2030 if re-elected. Should the plans go ahead, it would represent each area of the city region having a brand new station under Mr Rotheram’s tenure.
Last year, to much fanfare, the £80m Headbolt Lane site welcomed passengers for the first time in Kirkby. It was the first new station in the Liverpool City Region for five years, after Maghull North welcomed commuters in 2018. The second most sought after stop is the home of Liverpool FC - Anfield. There are hopes this could also feature as part of designs for the trackless tram referred to by Mr Rotheram, alongside Bramley Moore-Dock.
