LIVERPOOL REGENERATION AND TRANSPORT SELECT COMMITTEE
10 February 2011

Question, and suggestion, by the Select Committee to open the Outer Loop Line.

“The city districts and city suburbs of the City of Liverpool are
underprovided for by Merseyrail compared to other Merseyside areas. For
example, Birkenhead is as close or closer to Liverpool city centre
as/than Toxteth, Wavertree, Old Swan, West Derby, Knotty Ash,
Tuebrook, Stoneycroft, Norris Green, Anfield and Everton etc..
Birkenhead has many Merseyrail stations whereas the aforementioned
Liverpool city districts have none.

Will Liverpool City Council undertake to work towards re-balancing this
discrepancy by endeavouring to facilitate the following:
  1. In the short to medium term

    1. re-activation of the existing Liverpool Loop Line from Hunts
      Cross on the Northern Line to Rice Lane on the Kirkby Line;

    2. consideration of the opening of stations on the Liverpool Loop
      Line at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool Football Club and Everton
      Football Club as priorities, as economic enablers of the project;
      and

    3. creation of a junction on the Liverpool Loop Line at Broadgreen to
      allow additional access, using existing active railways, to Liverpool
      city centre through Wavertree Technology Park and central inner
      Liverpool suburbs. This would also create two city loops, increasing
      flexibility of services; and

  2. Production of a long term strategy to provide many more Liverpool
    city districts and citizens with the enormous benefits of quality
    commuter/Metro rail services which are part of and integrated into the
    existing extensive Merseyrail network.

A ground sharing scheme in Liverpool.
It's not going to happen.

D.O.G.F.A.N, I don't think he wrote or meant that. But you are right - it is not going to happen. Some have suggested a Football Quarter with each other at the end of a park with facilities for youth training, etc between.
