Plans for a £100m railway station in Liverpool have been given the green light by Liverpool City Council in a move to stimulate further development in the city’s Baltic Triangle district.
Work on the station, to be located on Merseyrail’s Northern Line, will start later this year. It is expected to open at the end of 2027.
The station is part of mayor Steve Rotheram’s vision to improve the public transport network across the Liverpool City Region and complements existing rail projects. He said: “It’s not just about improving connectivity – it’s about creating new opportunities, connecting our communities to jobs, education and each other, and contributing to a healthier, greener Liverpool City Region.
“Investing almost £100m at the heart of one of the UK’s most vibrant areas will help to make this part of the city more accessible to all, while easing congestion and helping us achieve our net-zero targets.”
The station is being funded via the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, dedicated to major transport projects across the city region.
