Local leaders have approved a £96 million funding package to build the Liverpool Baltic station, as part of Mayor Steve Rotheram’s ongoing work to improve rail access across the Liverpool City Region.
The package was approved at today’s Combined Authority meeting, paving the way for a planning application to be submitted to Liverpool City Council in October. Pending approvals from the Department for Transport, construction will begin next year, with the Mayor pledging to have the station open by 2027.
The investment will fund the new station, alongside improvements to active travel and surrounding public spaces, following significant support from a recent public consultation. The Liverpool Baltic station, set to be located on Merseyrail’s Northern Line, will serve one of the city’s most dynamic districts, recently named the 11th coolest neighbourhood in the world by Time Out magazine.
