New Everton Stadium


The problem with Sandhills is the single platform. It would be difficult to coral the supporters into Northbound and Southbound and then get them onto the platform as trains arrive. Perhaps all Northbound fans could use Sandhills and all Southbound Moorfields. But in any case, Merseyrail need to up their game in the provision of additional services/carriages after the match. Performance now is terrible with many fans being left on the platform at Kirkdale as the 3 carriage trains departs.

They'll end up with Wembley station style fenced queues to the platform. If Merseyrail are any use then there should be shuttle trains put on to town
from Sandhills hopefully a train every few mins will clear the station in no time.

Yeah, I think so. The best solutions would be to build a new station between Sandhills and Moorfields AND improve Sandhills. Sadly, neither of these things will happen. At the very least, though, I think we will expect to see better facilities outside the station to help with marshalling the queues. More covering for the bad weather, for example. As has been stated as well, if the time of the next trains is displayed at BMD that will help people plan their walk from the ground and encourage people to have a pint.

Another station between Moorefields and Sandhills is the perfect solution, not just for the stadium but the other developments too.
