I've visited the site a couple of times and I'm lost as to why the owners are forcing the 502 to leave; perhaps you could explain why ?

I've always thought that it was criminal of the National ...

I visited the new museum last weekend, the high-light of which, was undoubtedly the LOR carriage, followed closely by the Liverpool Cityscape by Ben Johnson.

As a teenager, I was a volonteer at...

The book is an excellent addition to any Merseyside enthusiasts library.

Plenty of previously unseen/unpublished photographs, notably of Meols Cop works and an electric baggage-car, being...

If I remember correctly,at Southport,there was previously a seperate enquiry-office.

Great concept:trouble starts when only two tills are open and one of them is dealing with an enquiry from an old-dear who is a little confused.I experienced this at Southport a month ago-missed two...

I hope you don't mind,but I re-posted your thread on Southportgb.com.

I totally agree ! There is little chance of the High Level site being reused as a station NEVERTHELESS
it is fun to envisage such projects and discuss them.Anyone intelligent will enjoy the debate...

I am a frequent visiter to these pages,but only an ocassional contributor.
I see little point in making a point of view when it will either be ignored or condemned without reason by the few people...

Expanding Central will be an expensive,long and disruptive task.Given that most of the problems stem from the need for two out of every three trains to run forward before a new departure,perhaps any...

My late father worked for Tate & Lyle/ Huskisson Transit. I remember well,he often returned from work in the evening (mid 60's)with fresh-fish.I've no idea where it came from;perhaps straight off the...

Thank-you for those precisions.

Does anyone know when the siding was last used?

I have often wondered if the line from Central towards Hunts Cross was used to evacuate spoil from the contruction of the loop and associated works.
If not,the line was effectively moth-balled until...

Great pics; thanks for sharing !

Is that the reinstated Olive Mount curve ?

I do not know the area well, despite having used John Lennon Airport regularly. Would it not be possible to run tram-trains from the airport to Liverpool Central with a link at Cressington Jnc ?...

Thanks for those links Ged.Very interesting indeed !

As a country-dweller, I couldn't survive in a city such as Liverpool,in fact I wonder how anyone can !The wealthier members of society who...

I'm still enjoying the debate despite it becoming a slanging-match between Robt and Waterways. I still doubt that heavy-rail is a solution for inner-city Liverpool,the need just can't be proven and...

I remember reading that there were 'reversing-sidings' at Tuebrook ?
Can anyone provide more information : how they operated; their demise ?

With all due respect, this thread as a whole has generated some very interesting input.Perhaps Waterways is a dreamer,but humanity only advances as one man's dream becomes reality.

An ex-pat, I live and work permanently in France between Bordeaux and Toulouse (these are the regions two major towns).Toulouse has a two-line light metro-VAL-with a first tram-line actually under...

I do apologise if my contribution is off-subject,which is the very reason I did not start a new thread.However, how can a huge scheme, such as the one proposed by Waterways ever hope to get off the...

I've been following this thread with great interest. Sadly, I can't see anything like this ever materialising, but you never know,the demise of the private car might provide the necessary impetus.The...

Although I no longer live on Merseyside, I still have a great interest in the regions railways, dating from my days of travelling around the network on a weekend "Merseyrover" and my...

I have these two photos of the last days of Liverpool Central HL :
