New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Dr Baxter]

Never mind extra trains it always seems to be 3 carriages the 1st train after the match both Sundays and midweek. ridiculous.

Yeah but once that opens its been well over a decade of talk, if a station was to happen near the stadium I wouldn't expect it to be for about another 15 years minimum

We don't do public transport well in the UK, I agree. That said, if we get a station within 15 years of us moving to BMD, I'm sure it will come in handy for the next 85 years we'll be playing there.

Excellent news. I didn't know that. It doesn't have to be anything too fancy. Just keep us out if the rain whilst we are stood queueing at street level waiting to get onto the platform.

It is only at design stage, so no price/funding has been agreed yet or anything like that, but the will is there.

Yes, that an obvious gripe. Really annoying. That said, I believe the new trains we're getting (777) hold far more passengers than the old ones do. Is it 50% more? Frequent, 6 car trains of the new type from Sandhills on match days will shift fans in large numbers before and after the match.

And will also be able to make use of the expanding Mersey Rail network. Get more, further.

Also, all being well, its not the only rail improvement that will be happening down there.

Liverpool Baltic station is definitely happening ,it's due to open in 2025 . Being built on the site of St. James station which closed during WW1.

Didn't know about this. Had a quick Google and couldn't pinpoint where it'll be built. Is there map anywhere? Would it be on the city centre loop?

It'll be a new station on the Northern line between Central and Brunswick, at the corner of Parliament St and St James's Place.

That’s what I like to see, some serious precision in coordinates.

With 14 decimal places on lat long coordinates, you’re dealing in nanometres. Thinner than a DNA strand!

(Just doing my bit for nerdery in a thread that was peak nerd during the dredging phase but has since lost its way somewhat.)

Obviously, you don't want one. Plenty of people would have a different opinion.

It's OK for you my son, you live in Collingwood dock, you can just swim to the game.

God bless.

 

[bcblue1878]

Sandhills is only a drive and a wedge from BMD isnt it? Not sure a new station would be justfied would it?

Just over half a mile, you must hit a decent driver !

I saw that message and couldn’t wrap my head around it, either.

Manhattan loft-style living on Walter Street, perhaps?
