The big part of the work with Lime St closed will be October 2017, but with several weekend closures before then

The main reason Network Rail probably doing the work in the final quarter of the year is that the track and trackbed on the riverbed and around the Liverpool Loop is to be replaced in the 1st and 2nd Quarters , then the all important summer holidays in the 3rd Quarter .

Construction of the new Maghull north station is scheduled to begin in January 2017 and will be completed in December 2017. The line will be closed in stages to allow the platforms lifts footbridge and ticket office to be built with a rail replacement bus service being provided during the line closures. This new station is certainly needed as it will relieve the congestion which the existing Maghull station is facing which is absolutely chronic especially at rush hour.

The Car Park at Maghull gets very full , quite quickly .
The level crossing at the end of the station probably doesn't help either.

Just to remind you that Lime street will be closed from 30/09/2017 to 06/10/2017.
There will be bus replacement.

I thought the plan was to divert services to South Parkway for Merseyrail connections onto the City Centre.

It is closed partly or fully for longer than that.Ignore the bit about ARN terminating at Liverpool South Parkway and Hunts Cross 30 Sep-22 Oct,it is Hunts Cross although Merseytravel have neglected to update the link despite being informed of the mistake

Be interesting to see what this 'quality' rail replacement service is.

Probably similar to the"quality" rail replacement when the loop line was off on Merseyrail earlier this year

Read on Merseytravel website that from 30 September until 22 of October no Merseyrail trains will serve Hunts Cross. is this to allow Arriva Rail North more room to turn around?
