Moorfields Station, a vital entry point to Liverpool’s business district, is set to receive a £1 million upgrade to its main entrance, with plans revealed today.
Backed by funding from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, the improvements will include modern cladding, energy-efficient LED lighting, improved signage, a covered staircase, and relocated secure cycle storage.
Subject to planning and design approval, work is expected to begin in October and complete by the end of 2025.
This marks the first stage of a wider strategy to revitalise Moorfields station. Longer-term plans are already in development to deliver a more comprehensive overhaul that reflects the station’s central role in the city’s commercial core.
Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said:
“Moorfields sits right at the heart of Liverpool’s business district – but for too long, its main entrance hasn’t reflected the energy and ambition of the area it serves.
“Whilst we finalise plans for stations to be devolved locally, this investment is about improving things in the short term – creating a cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming gateway for the thousands of people who travel into the district every day. It’s a meaningful first step towards a bigger transformation that will give this part of the city centre an upgraded facility.
“With the country’s most advanced new trains already in service and new stations like Maghull North and Headbolt Lane already delivered, we’re continuing to raise standards across our network – and Moorfields is next in line. Discussions are ongoing about a total revamp, but these upgrades are another step in the right direction.”
The scheme is being delivered with support from Merseyrail and Network Rail to ensure it remains cost-effective and well-integrated.
