My suggestion regarding the CLC line was more to do with the concept of delivering better connections between Liverpool and Manchester, but necessarily using high-speed lines. To remind the PM's statement stated "We will also invest a further £12 billion to better connect Manchester to...

You could probably get four tracks past Wavertree Technology Station by converting the existing platforms to island platforms. There still appears to be space if the vegetation was removed on the south of the station and on the north side by removing the ramp which used to carry freight trains...

The plans for the extension of the Seaforth railhead have been approved today by Sefton Council. https://pa.sefton.gov.uk/online-applications/files/4547CEC9E6C9A214C32C588DE09BB721/pdf/DC_2023_01392-DECISION_-_COL_PROPOSED_USE_CERT_ISSUED-2730402.pdf

Potentially, yes. and for the wider North of England economy if MSC can deliver the vessel calls and the port can maintain the levels of service. The Maersk office is the Head Office in the UK. They have other offices in UK but these are not customer facing, and are back office, Birmingham does...

The new railhead has got to accommodate 775 metre length trains as currently most liner trains have to be split and take up two roads of the present terminal. Once unload / loaded, they then put back together again before final departure which takes up a bit of time and longer road closure at...

The planning application for the Seaforth Railhead extension application No DC/2023/01392 from 07 Aug 2023. The first link is the plan of the site whilst the second link is the full application. Boundary (sefton.gov.uk) DC/2023/01392 | Certificate of lawfulness for the proposed improvements...

I briefly read the report and was surprised to find little mention of freight traffic from the Port of Liverpool, particularly for intermodal traffic and what effect on existing flows this would have. At this stage i must stress I am not suggesting that Liverpool2 will change the dynamics of a...

Just to add that I suspect this also a question of Peel having a foot in both camps. The Trafford Park trains I believe tend to be well subscribed and whilst world trade is presently relatively quiet, there are a huge number of large ships due to enter service in the next few years some of which...

I think the feeders (if they get there) will berth to the west of the locks comparing the map with the Peel Ports images of the site here. https://peellandp.co.uk/our-expertise/port-salford/

At the time this was proposed Peel were heavily promoting the use of the Manchester Ship Canal as a means of distributing traffic for the Port of Liverpool using initially barges, and more recently a 400 teu feeder vessel. Whilst the the blurb still appears on the website, the relatively of...

i'd assume Peel are still evaluating the tenders and then of course getting board approval before they commit and formally announce the project, which possibly could also include some lifting hardware.

Here you go, confirmation of the tender process. https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/tenders/view/10911

By 2025 Seaforth Railhead should capable of handling 775 mtr intermodal trains, Peel have recently tendered for a contractor to extend the existing terminal. MSC own 50% or the new Liverpool 2 container terminal and following their split with Maersk by Jan 2025 look set to expand their...

Back in the 1960's Oil Sites Road was a public road for it's entire length as I recall when I visited the Stanlow terminal with my father. This was long before the M53 was built so one of the problems was speeding traffic and a high level of accidents. The last time I visited the area was...

On 25 Jan 2019 Maritime Transport Ltd and DB Cargo announced the launch of a new joint venture which involves Martime taking over DB's existing services from Felixstowe and Southampton as well as other major ports...

New services start that could help kick start the use of rail services. https://www.peelports.com/news/2018/port-of-liverpool-to-receive-new-container-services

The official press release https://www.peelports.com/news/2018/revitalised-rail-is-a-game-changer-for-uk-logistics Notice the leading container is a Peel livered unit!

Peel announce a return of intermodal trains from the Seaforth railhead to Mossend from next month. https://www.peelports.com/news/2018/peel-ports-partners-with-db-cargo-for-first-rail-freight-service

Agree, if Freightliner were to close their Garston Terminal and move to Seaforth for example, it should be possible to restore the original route from Cressington Station to the WCML through the former terminal which would allow the Merseyrail trains to reach the WCML at the rear of the retail...

There has been a steady growth in exports from UK and to the USA in particular driven on by the weak Pound and the improving American economy. Given Liverpool's premier position in this trade the increase is not surprising, and this week Peel will host a conference in Glasgow to promote Greenock...
