- New video revealed at start of four-week public consultation over Liverpool Baltic station plans
- Shows how outside and inside the £100m station could look
- Virtual reality walkthrough also to be unveiled at drop-in event
- New station will serve ‘UK’s coolest neighbourhood’
A stunning new video was today unveiled at the start of a four-week public consultation into plans for a new £100m railway station in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.
The Liverpool Baltic station will serve one of the city region’s fastest growing areas and is one of four new stations planned by recently re-elected Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram. He has committed to completing the project by the end of 2027 – a year ahead of its previous schedule.
Mayor Rotheram has also pledged to build three new stations at Daresbury in Halton, Woodchurch on the Wirral and Carr Mill in St Helens, with work to develop all three underway by the end of the decade.
It will mean that every borough of the city region will have had a brand-new station since Mayor Rotheram took office in 2017.
The teaser video gives views of all areas of the station, including the outside plaza, ticket office, escalators and platforms, and is taken from the virtual reality walkthrough which will go on display at two drop-in events later this month.
Cllr Steve Foulkes, Chair of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Transport Committee, said:
“The Liverpool Baltic station scheme is another fantastic example of the investment we are putting into the city region to deliver Mayor Steve Rotheram’s ambition of a reliable, accessible, affordable and integrated public transport network that helps, rather than hinders people getting around.
“As one of the fastest growing areas of our city region, it is vital that we look to improve transport links and encourage more people to leave behind the car and travel by rail or bus where possible.
“The feedback we have received to the CGIs so far has been fantastic and I’m sure everyone will be impressed with the flythrough video too.
“We would encourage anyone interested to take part in our online survey or attend one of the drop-in events to find out more about the scheme and give their views.”
The drop-in events are part of a public consultation on the station scheme, which is now open and running until Sunday 4 August.
The new station, which will be located on Merseyrail’s Northern Line, will serve the UK’s ‘coolest neighbourhood’ – and the world’s 11th coolest – according to Time Out magazine. The station’s name was chosen by the public in an online vote in 2022 which saw more than three-quarters opt for Liverpool Baltic.
People interested in the scheme are invited to submit their views on the scheme at the drop-in events or via the online survey.
