Very well done. I think your site suggestion for a Bramley Moore stadium station is spot on. I just get the impression from this video that Liverpool has big unrealized ambitions. It's quite a contrast to what is happening in London and nearby Manchester and it's a little depressing. The visualization at 5:29 is impressive. It reminds me of London's Wood Wharf which is very actively being realized. Speaking of Wood Wharf you feature in the video One Park Lane which is a curved building as is Wood Wharf's One Park Drive, though that's about all they have in common. I think Liverpool, with docks, historic architecture and riverside location, has the potential to be a world class city (again) and hopefully that will eventually happen.

If they build a station for the Bramley Moore dock, its only 1/2 mile from Sandhills to where you propose a new station. It gains the railway nothing financially, for the one maybe two days in a week it would be used for, Merseyrail would have to staff it with the numbers of people using it, so its an extra build cost of £Millions for zero gain. It does worry me though the lack of thoughts about catering to the fans needs , its apparently glamorous to be a ``on the river`` location, They ignored the entire area is one big industrial estate. No shops No Pubs Nothing. A shiny new button on a dirty pair of overalls.

Although Boris Johnson could have intervened, as the heritage stripping was an embarrassment to the UK as a whole. Like Rotherman, he also did sweet nothing, being complicit by inaction.

I think it's the same story everywhere. More social housing needs to be built.

It’s unfortunate that none of the changes include any architectural significance in terms of infrastructure as all the rail network systems like exchange station and the dock lifelines from Canada dock to the electrified rail network have all been filled in. This shows the intent of the Government to deny any development of logistics to move freight. The isolation of the port access to enable passenger access is also a massive problem. These meaningless buildings all seem to be built in strategic positions to make sure this cannot be undone. Perhaps a look at the old maps of the turn of the century could show how it is supposed to work. Bootle now is the most neglected and deserted place in the country. After being bombed to bits during the war and totally left to rot. The only possible chance of a rebirth could be some national move to end the use of the docks as a processing graveyard as it now is for the storage of scrap metal and to build new state of the art rail and motorway access to the docks. As planned before the common market.

@johnburns4017

Ай бұрын

You appear to be very confused. Seven years ago a second container terminal accommodating the world's largest ships was built at Liverpool. There was a survey a few years back to get a fully separate line into Liverool docks. The old Bankfield goods station looks an ideal way in by uncovering the infilled approach cuttings and taking a line out to the WCML and east to Leeds via Preston. Only after Aintree station would the freight trains need to share track with Merseyrail. There is only one diesel line into the docks right now. Garston Docks has electric lines into the port. This may have been defence related as war clouds are forming. Liverpool is the only deep water port on that coast, and as in WW2, vital. Amazingly, and naively, Liverpool's Seaforth container terminal when opened in 1972 never had any rail access. All was via truck, as most containers were taken direct to their end destinations. Liverpool's port trade is growing. Many new large logistical sheds have been built and a number planned. There is also a move to have containers for the North of England entering northern ports, not coming in from the south. The rail tunnel from James St to Central, now used as a stock interchange, was reduced to one track as building works were built on a part of the tunnel. A deliberate ploy to curtail growth if it was to be used for passengers, which underpins your point.

@geoffsimms7265

It’s not me confused ???? Please look at the original layout of the rail system . The new deep water docks could have utilized all the existing footprint of the of the commercial road sub terrain sidings. As you must know the rail system ( electrified line) access via Canada dock is completely filled in. Alexandre dock has a solitary line via fazackerly which is not the main line required to go east then south via Runcorn. Containers dropped in Seaforth could easily have been shunted to the sidings and either shifted by rail or road. You fail to observe that the unused docks from Seaforth to Liverpool have been hyjacked by a scrap metal processing and storage facility that could be sited elsewhere Not to store and process there as this is only for tax avoidance and total disregard and bad use of the docks. If you come to Liverpool and take journey through the dock system you would be able to see this for yourself . 7 miles of former warehouse facility largely neglected and disused since World War Two. That was 1939 to 45 . Virtually 80 years of total neglect. That is there now for all to see. The new Liverpool two is still unused . The main ship the Atlantic conveyor still uses Gladstone dock not Liverpool 2 . Peel holdings had the idea of transferring freight from ship to barge via the ship canal transferring logistics. The shipping companies don’t want double handling and favor southern ports as a preference . This brings me on to the 1960,s plan m62 and 58 direct to docks. Liverpool docks is the least preferred dock in the country by transport haulers because Peel holdings have made a total mess of their plans. All these road alterations were abandoned when we joined the common market. Now we are left with unfinished motorways m57/58/62/53. To get back to the current buildings strategically built in places that prevent the docks and passenger cruise terminal being accessed. These new buildings are directly bad decisions and don’t suit architectural definition for a port. At present we have another mindless and ill thought out proposal to build a new road through Seaforth to the M58 almost child like in its conception.

@@johnburns4017 Oh dear. Like I say do your study on how access to the main line link was achieved. What you have to understand is that Liverpool was a major port and the freight could move from commercial sidings wavertree allerton garston then all points south. Those lines got abandoned but could have become reactivated. A government enquiry did not see fit to reactivate in favour of road haulage and the new request by the simple minded peel holdings idea of transferring freight up the ship canal. As a result of peel holdings stupid influence and resultant filling in of the rail network at Canada dock where by thousands of tonnes of hardcore was used to block the rail system where it connected. All you have to do is access the rail system as it was as late as the 1960’s. All filled in now of course. Also please get up to speed with the abandoned motorway network. As a reminder to you study the other tunnels abandoned and left to rot. Victoria Waterloo Wapping Edge hill Crown street etc. all of them abandoned and in need of maintenance . These cover many miles and are a major civil engineering problem that are not inspected regularly and could collapse like one did at Roscoe station in dingle. The ignorance of people who just don’t read or study is beyond belief. Also you say Liverpool 2 is used. For information the original Gladstone dock plays host to the largest container ship that uses the docks and was there before the installation of the large transfer cranes installed to transfer over to barges. These are not used anything like what was envisaged and stated on the business case and as far as beneficial use they are a complete failure. Do your study on the freight users report for Liverpool 2 as it a complete and utter failure so far. Garston by the way is not a deep water dock nor is it part of Liverpool docks but does have an electrified line. It was connected to Canada dock many years ago via the link thro wavertree but electrified progress never got installed obviously because the 3 mile link was decommissioned . My problem is that all these projects outlined as progress are in actual regression because they are proposed to be built blocking the re activation of these stations. As an interest when the Princess dock was a direct main line link and exchange station was the main station before lime street was conceived. Liverpool is in big trouble of being destroyed by ignorance.

Liverpool 2 is not a failure at all. Considering reduced trade after Covid is more than holding its own. It can handle just about the largest ships in the world. The in-river berth can be widened if the largest ships come, of which there is only a handful of them.

the difference in development between Liverpool and Manchester appears to be increasing. Is it just me or Liverpool not only looks, but feels like a large town and not a proper City?

It’s just you, Liverpool doesn’t feel like a large town one bit, the city centre is one of the biggest in the UK outside of London.

In this video I have featured construction projects and we haven't seen anything of the city. Liverpool is definitely a city, with a city feel and a unique atomosphere you won't find anywhere else. And yes, it has a large city centre.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Liverpool is one of the great UK cities. And if the criteria for a city is a cathedral, then we have TWO.

​@@rewind12354 The city centre is getting bigger extending in the north to Bramley Moore Dock, having expanded south to the Baltic. It is debatable if the Knowledge Quarter is in the city centre, but that has moved eastwards. An underground metro station was planned in the 70s for this district using the miles of unused tunnel under the city. Then came the Tories. The north and south extremes of the centre will have stations, the east needs one after 45 years of waiting.

the whole of liverpool is going to look like slough business centre.
