New £5m train station to be ready in time for ground opening

[Abro100]

I wonder if i live by there?

[Red Chilli]

I'd imagine a sponsor or 2 wouldn't mind paying to be on display in and out of said train

[Abro100]

I know the line, i thought it said bootle lane where it was, doh, anyway yeh its about 2 mins away from me, purple aki lives on there, they use it for freight of a night sometimes.

[Abro100]

It brings you out by the lambanana

[Iceman]

Its the old freight line between Bootle and Garston docks, which has a link onto it from edge hill............ for the most part it runs above the city, through Wavertree, Tuebrook and Anfield

[Abro100]

Yeah, i live by the link like.

[Revo]

Thanks Meols, great map.
Looks lika a station should be placed close to where the line crosses Utting Avenue. Will be about 1 km to walk to the stadium from there.

Methinks the laddy doth protest too much.

Oooooooooohhhhh, hark at Shakespeare!





Why spot trains when you can throw stones at them. That was my motto. :shame:

Hicks said he wants to build to high 70ks for the first game in the new stadium. Parry has been a bit more reserved in his comments but it seems clear that they're aiming high for day one.

From what I can gather, the plans are such that work can start as soon as the new design is approved (rubber stamp job as we have only changed the appearance not the capacity), Once the initial work starts we will be able to access about 30 million from the EEC

After work has started we are going to submit new plans for a larger capacity as well as new plans for transport links etc, once these are approved only very slight alterations are needed to the building programme to achieve this new capacity

In a nutshell it has been designed to allow for 76000+ but also so that work can start now

The littler map gives you a better idea of where the line is in relation to Stanly Park
