If Kenyon Junction(or Leigh Parkway) reopens, how might it be served?

[Hey 3]

How do you think Leigh Parkway(or Kenyon Junction) might be served
I think all stoppers and a semi-fast possibly.

Where would it be?

 

[Hey 3]

Where would it be?

It would be in between NLW and Patricroft, to the south of the 52,000 k+ town named Leigh, where the first ever railway junction was.

Anything that stops at Eccles

 

[Hey 3]

Anything that stops at Eccles

A bit harsh, given Eccles has a poor rail service for its interchange and size, and that Leigh(which would be served by the proposed parkway) is 52,000 which is 14,000 more than Eccles.

Would a Leigh Parkway station be better sited at Glazebury, to serve Culcheth as well?

A half-hourly stopping service should suffice, but that would mean increasing the current off-peak stopping train frequency on the Chat Moss line and finding room for it on reaching Manchester.

It could be, however, Glazebury is not good sited to the Atherleigh Way and the East Lancs compared to Kenyon Junction.

If I’m going to be completely honest, I would shuffle round the timetable of the Chat Moss stoppers completely, so I would change it to:

1tph Manchester Victoria - Crewe stopper calling at all stops to WBQ and then Acton Bridge and Winsford and Crewe (giving Winsford and Acton Bridge connections to Manchester)

1tph Liverpool - WBQ instead of the existing service to Manchester Airport

And also:

TfW service to Chester calling at the new station and possibly Eccles.

TPE intercity from Liverpool to stop during peak hours.

Northern Service from Windermere rerouted to stop aswell.

A solid timetable, 4tph for a 52,000k town(plus Lowton and Golborne E and S to be served and Culcheth and Glazebury) is a decent service with decent rail connections, and if not for Castlefield, I am sure the line could handle 1tph to Oxford Road stopper from Liverpool, to maintain flows like Eccles-Liverpool and Huyton-Manchester.
