History
An announcement was made in December 2010 that a planned prison and proposed new railway station had been axed by Government spending cutbacks.[4]
However, in June 2014 it was announced that the land was to be used for housing and that the station would be built as part of the project.[5] Further mention was made in Merseytravel's 30 Year Plan[6] and in November 2015 proposals were opened for public comment.[7][8]
In October 2016, the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority approved the business case for the station, which was expected to cost £13 million to build. The station was planned to have two 125 m (137 yd) platforms, a 156-space car park, step-free access and provision for electric vehicle charging points,[9][10] as well as connections to pedestrian, bus and cycle routes.
