Sandhills station

[Blueeyedboy]

I am going to ask a question out of ignorance, and I understand this is somewhat related but still largely separate from the station/platform issue, but can't Merseyrail simply add new trains to the schedule on matchdays to help with the transit issue?

It’s not the train capacity it’s the station capacity that’s the main problem, you can’t get enough people on the platform in a safe way to fill each train before it has to leave. The redevelopment of the station should have been part of the conditions of the planning application and all interested parties should have been been made to contribute to it: Everton, Peel, LCC and Merseytravel. They knew the issues as it’s all detailed in the planning application but nobody wants to pay for it now.

blah blah blah adequate travelling capacity for all football fans blah blah blah safe and monitored means blah blah blah obvious timescale of delivery of stadium blah blah blah rabbits out of hats last minute blah blah blah does something awful have to happen before we see movement from the council? Pray someone doesn't have to be injured, or potentially worse for this clear issue to be dealt with in a full and professional manner.

Benefit of this method is it is a clear call to arms to the politicians. Once it's published it's a time bomb under someone's seat. Get a move on and fix it before it becomes a big enough problem to sink you.
