It makes great sense to have an accessible rail link for fans who live here and for those who live further away. People can be encouraged to choose not to drive with reasonable cost rail fares and easy accessibility, but it should still be their choice.
Also the 'long march' from Lime Street has not been that safe for some visiting fans. These are various distances from a quick scout around on the internet:
div>
Arsenal; Three or Ten minute walk to tube dependent on line
Old Trafford; incorporated station
Chelsea; Fulham Broadway, two minutes walk
Aston Villa; Whitton Station, five minutes walk
Man City; 15mins walk
Barcelona; 10 to 15mins walk from Metro or Tram
San Siro; about 15mins from Metro
Bayern Munich; incorporated station (but World Cup Stadium budget!!)
Ajax; two or 15 mins walk
Stations at either Vauxhall or Arkles Lane would fit into this range but you have to take the point on road traffic around Scottie Road.
