Funding for the changes is set to be approved by local leaders
Lifts will be installed at two Merseyrail stations as part of Steve Rotheram's plans to make the railway step-free by 2030. Local leaders are set to approve £9.5m of funding for lifts at Aigburth and Rock Ferry stations, following its recommendation at the November Combined Authority meeting. Mayor Rotheram has pledged to ensure all local rail stations are fully accessible by 2030.
'We have already made great progress with level-boarding on our new £500m trains and now we want to make sure all our stations are accessible to all too. This funding will help us continue our journey towards that aim.” The funding is part of the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement - a pot of £710m set aside for major transport infrastructure projects across the Liverpool City Region.
