Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has released a video showing what the proposed Baltic Triangle station could look like inside and out.

Images of the proposed design were revealed in May.

The video was released to launch a four-week consultation process for the new station, which runs until Sunday 4th August.

The video is taken from a virtual reality walkthrough which will be on show at two events this month.

Using CGI technology, it includes all key parts of the station, including platforms, ticket office, escalators and the entrance plaza.

Located on Merseyrail‘s Northern Line, the first trains are scheduled to serve Liverpool Baltic station by the end of 2027.

Three additional new stations planned by Mayor Rotherham, at Daresbury in Halton, Woodchurch on the Wirral and Carr Mill in St Helens, should be completed by 2030.

The Baltic Triangle is a vibrant part of the city, which is home to new creative industries and will see 4,000 apartments built when it is completed.

It is also a busy leisure destination, thanks partly to Liverpool Boxpark, which opened recently on the site of the former Cains brewery.

‘Time Out’ magazine has dubbed the Baltic Triangle the UK’s “coolest neighbourhood” and the 11th coolest in the world!

The new stations are part of ambitious plans by the recently-re-elected Mayor for the city region to reach net zero by 2035.

His “Merseyrail for All” scheme aims to connect all of the region’s boroughs to the rail network, using innovative battery technology to encourage people out of their cars and onto more environmentally-friendly public transport.

When completed, the Baltic Triangle station will include fully-accessible toilets, step-free access from the street and secure cycle storage.

More information about the consultation can be found at Liverpool Baltic Station (liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk).

The two drop-in events will allow the public to question members of the project team and see what the station could look like, using virtual reality headsets. These will be held at:

• Baltic Creative CIC, 49 Jamaica St – Tue 16 July, 11am to 8pm
• FireFit Youth and Community Hub, 115 Upper Warwick St, Toxteth – Tue 23 July, 11am to 8pm

The consultation will collect information and opinions to help shape the planning application. Once this is approved, work should begin on this exciting new station in 2025.

The new Liverpool Baltic station has huge potential to help drive the economic growth of this part of the city centre and will act as a vital service for the long-standing residential community.

Its development will also complement the Council’s plans to improve the public realm in the area for both residents and visitors alike.

The next few years should define the future of the Baltic Triangle for decades to come and these new images and the pending public consultation is an exciting chapter in this unfolding story.

Councillor Nick Small, Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet member for Growth and Economy

The Liverpool Baltic station scheme is another fantastic example of the investment we are putting into the city region to deliver Mayor Steve Rotheram’s ambition of a reliable, accessible, affordable and integrated public transport network that helps, rather than hinders people getting around.

As one of the fastest growing areas of our city region, it is vital that we look to improve transport links and encourage more people to leave behind the car and travel by rail or bus where possible.

The feedback we have received to the CGIs so far has been fantastic and I’m sure everyone will be impressed with the flythrough video too.

We would encourage anyone interested to take part in our online survey or attend one of the drop-in events to find out more about the scheme and give their views.
