Commuters will face 'real problems' as construction of a new Merseyrail station nears completion.
Headbolt Lane will become the newest station on the Merseyrail network when it opens this summer. The station, in the Towerhill area of Kirkby, will extend the Merseyrail Kirkby line and will be the terminal for Northern's services towards Wigan Wallgate.
As the station prepares to open, Merseyrail has announced changes to services on the Kirkby line that will take place between July 1 and August 13. Passengers are being asked to plan their journeys in advance as on a number of days no trains will run on the line.
