Future

edit

Merseytravel have made several mentions of re-opening the station as part of a plan of using the Canada Dock/Bootle Branch for passenger services. The October 2017 Liverpool City Region Combined Authority update to the Long Term Rail Strategy mentions the re-opening of the line to passenger use with new stations at Anfield, Tue Brook and Edge Lane.[3]
