Two 'new' stadia, Stanley Park given back to the city, regeneration of the housing in the area, direct link to public transport on the branch line, what they call a 'leisure destination' (like Wembley), part of Liverpool's bid for the World Cup. What's not to like?

By the way, I think the Canada branch misses the WCML (via Allerton) by a couple of hundred yards at the Olive Mount Chord unless we're back to shunting backwards at Edge Hill?
