North East Buses

Yesterday i was made aware of plans to improve our railway in St Helens, something thats been on the decline for many years, the Idea is to have the following done:

New Train Station in Carr Mill (next to the east lancs)

Train Line between St Helens Central and St Helens Junction Re-Opened (most of this is still there with track on it lying dis-used!)

New Transport Hub that would connect St Helens Central with St Helens Junction, Earlstown and Newton (currently none of these stations have a direct Train to the Central Station and have not done for a number of years now!)

for more information please use the following links, all credit goes to the Green Party and i will help in any way i can to make sure this plan goes ahead!

It'd be a good thing, but I think the chances of the Green Party taking control of St Helens in the near future are zero. They have 0 councillors on the council at present. Even if they did take control, they'd have to convince central government to give them some cash, as local council budgets have been completely shot.

the green party did come close last local election as in my area (thatto heath) they came 2nd, this project is not one from the green party it is being done by merseytravel and St Helens Council, the Green Party are shouting about it as they are worried the 2 named groups have not put decent case forward to get the aproval to go ahead, hope this clears a few things
