The train journey from Heswall to Liverpool requires a change at Bidston.

This is a disincentive for local travellers who either work in Liverpool or wish to enjoy the city, and equally for visitors to Heswall from Liverpool.

The change at Bidston is required because the diesel trains of the Borderlands line on which Heswall sits give way to the electric trains of Merseyrail.

The days of diesel are numbered and battery powered locomotives are being trialled by Merseyrail - so this petition requests that thought is given now to Heswall’s unsatisfactory and environmentally unsound connectivity.
