I wonder really if Liverpool to Cardiff would be more useful that Holyhead to Cardiff, if there is such issues with bringing an extra service.

The airport link would be disruptive for sure, but wouldnt be more so that say the Elizabeth Line, and much shorter distance. I have heard ideas of bringing a rail line from the East side near the end of the Knowlsey Express Way to the airport, this being farmland for the most part.

Yes I know it was a long time ago, but the campaign to re open the Halton Curve has also been running for a very long time. It was nonsensical to close it to regular traffic in the first place. There was talk about giving Beechwood a station, this would be useful for that part of Runcorn that...

I think originally the Norther Line should have continued from Hunts Cross to Gateacre. It never happened, but this is a highly residential area with no rail, like Speke estate. If there could be one line branching north to Gateacre and another to serve Speke and the airport, you would kill 2...

I didn't see the debate, but if they are suggesting that, its a good alternative. I agree Speke Estate needs a big transport improvement and rail or tram or something to the airport calling at Speke could really help. The Eastern Link would be easier as you say. I just want to see something...

The airport needs a dedicated link, not some bus that stops all over the show, and needs to be quick, the trackless tram would do this. The airport is growing , Jet2 have just arrived , this will bring more passengers. As I said need to plan for the future. Not sure what you mean about LCR...

It needs both improved buses and this trackless tram would improve the link from South Parkway to Airport. Think you underestimate the catchment of the airport, it's far greater than LCR, that's also not taking into account inbound visitors which to Liverpool is significant Passengers this year...

Well that true, however it's not unreasonable for people of Liverpool and North Wales to expect direct services as they always did in the past. If they go to Manchester they should be going to Liverpool, which is much closer.

An improvement to access the airport is desperately needed, and whilst id like to see a Merseyrail extendsion to the airport, this might be a quick fix, if done right, with a dedicated trackway.

I use it from Frodsham to Liverpool and a lot of people use it from there, but it's disappointing that direct services from Liverpool to North and South Wales that were promised are still not there, years later.

I would say only half was in GM, as.it ends at Wigan.

My first trip.on a class 777 this afternoon. Liked it,.seemed smoother and faster.

I tend to agree , I live near Frodsham, and it's Liverpool City I go for entertainment etc, so better access to and from is a good thing.

One thing Rotherham should concentrate on is an improvement of transport to the airport. A station would be perfect, but as we aren't in the SE, some sort of dedicated tram / trackless tram from South Parkway. He has hinted on Twitter " watch this space " also an improvement for access to Anfield.

There was plans showing Merseyrail with the 777s reaching Runcorn East via Ellesmere Port and Helsby. I don't really understand the reason for the proposal, I would have thought the first station in the area would be Beechwood on the Halton Curve,

The old Daresbury Station, I think is in Moore, on the Chester to Warrington line.

I think their are Mayoral elections in May. Think the first two have been talked about for yonks.

I remember the days when you could reach Charing Cross directly from Bromley North .

National Girobank were excellent, I had my first bank account with them as a teenager. It's a shame the government flogged them off.

It could be, we don't know, but the tourist board would do.. Liverpool used to have far more direct services at.one time, way before the tourism boom.
