Headbolt Lane

Headbolt Lane
I went for a day riding the the Merseyrail trains across the entire 75 mile network. This included taking one of the new Class 777 units to the new terminus at Headbolt Lane, Kirkby.

The station is the terminus of the current Merseyrail service to Kirkby, having opened on 5 October 2023. It also has a third platform that is the terminus of Northern services towrds Wigan. There is an 80 space secure cycle area, a bus interchange and a 270 space car park.

The new trains operate between Fazakerley and Headbolt using battery power and elsewhere on the Merseyrail network using the third rail to supply electricity.
