New Everton Stadium Discussion

[Dr Baxter]

Talking of trains, I'm told that the new 4 cars hold twice as many than the old 3 cars (if you count passengers both stood up and sat down). Are 8 car trains possible or are they not possible due to platform constraints, do we know?

A bit of our stadium in this.

The new Stadler trains can be run as 8-car units. You may notice the end cars have only one set of doors, towards the middle of the carriage - that's because the front of the train will extend beyond the platform in 8 car formation at many stations. Northern Line will routinely have 8 car at peak periods.

That's incredible. They hold how many stood and seated in 8 car configuration? Thanks.

I remember getting the squeeze onto a train in Tokyo, unbelievable really, and the woman who had my hand on her left breast didn’t seem to mind…..

should be paid for with all the NOT SPENDING

This refers to the corralling of fans outside Sandhills as per Wembley Park . Not much scope for enlarging the actual station as it's an island platform on a viaduct.

Major improvement at station soon to be one of city's busiest

The development comes due to the multi-billion pound development of Vauxhall and Everton's new stadium

I've read elsewhere that the plan is to build another entrance similar to the existing one but on the other side. I believe Errington St has been mentioned which is off Derby Road. Not sure how that ties in with increasing capacity, but it'll shave a few minutes off the walk, I suppose.

Only a half an hour walk from Moorfields

On some days, be better to do that than try and jump the train from Sandhills

Personally, I'll take the train. Especially in the bad weather.

Yes Errington St. would shorten the walk from BMD , I would guess this would be for Northbound passengers ..There are currently about 9 trains per hour going into town so that's no problem .Going North there are again about 9 per hour but divided between Southport ,Kirkby and Ormskirk lines.
