Port of Liverpool Freight Rail Link "A Step Closer"
« on: July 12, 2007, 12:00:57 PM »

A £7.6m plan to reopen a rail link between the Port of Liverpool and the West Coast Mainline is a step closer , according to travel chiefs (link below.)

The stretch of line known as the Olive Mount Chord links the route to Bootle with the London to Manchester line.

A display of the scheme is on show at Wavertree Library until the end of July.

If approved , Merseytravel hopes to begin work later in 2007 with completion expected by the end of 2008.
