RE: Future Rail Projects
From the Merseytravel document I think they favour the Skem extension. One extract:- The third Local Transport Plan identifies the continued expansion of Merseyrail within Goal 5 (Ensure the transport network supports the economic success of the city region by the efficient movement of people and goods). The extension to Skelmersdale through Kirkby would make best use of available capacity on the Merseyrail network as Kirkby trains currently carry fewer passengers than other Northern Line services due to the short distance between Kirkby and Liverpool relative to other branches. The extension to Skelmersdale could therefore improve the financial viability of the Merseyrail network. |
