Stadia

Yes, that's true. Lotsa people who come to the match these days are from out of town. People are already coaxed out of their cars with parking restrictions etc. It just seems that we should make it easy for people to use public transport.

yeah, but that will never happen. cost cutting will see to that. can u imagine ever having constant trains every 5-10 minutes were u can actually sit down in peak hours?

What happened to the really useful smart buses ? it was nice to know what time a bus would arrive or if it had already been. I thought every bus would be like that by now, but no they're getting worse and they're often driven by ppl who don't give a toss about the timetable except the bus stop preceding the ones often used for time checkpoints

True, seems to be a bit of motivation needed with the staff. Also a bit of support from the management. Nobody's perfect

The do at Wembley and the Emirates, etc. Why would people in Liverrpool ignore a quick in and out rail system?

At the risk of repeating absolutely everything, just exactly where is this up and running low cost, affordable and buildable within our life time, in and out rail system?

There are mothballed lines that can be run in, and also serve the local community.

At huge cost! Must we go over this again? A station on an existing line is the ONLY way forward.

As it happens LFC have planning consent without a rail link. If the city wants to provide it, I'm sure they'd be pleased but since they can't even fund the stadium - it's going nowhere

[pablo42]

Sadly, reckon so.

What figures do you have on this cost or are you making it up?

It isn't, a mothballed line and tunnel is still there waiting that serves the communities it runs through. It needs a lot of joined up thinking. Liverpool is devoid of this type of thinking. Others can join things up.

Only to 60,000 and a foolish thing to give PP for that as well.
