Maghull North is a proposed new railway station at the north end of Maghull, Merseyside, England. It would primarily serve as the main station for Moss Side, Ashworth Hospital and a planned new prison.
It was announced in December 2010 that the planned prison and the proposed new railway station had been axed by Government spending cutbacks.[2]
However, in June 2014 it was announced that the land was to be used for a housing and that the station would be built as part of the project.[3] Further mention was made in Merseytravel's 30 Year Plan[4] and in November 2015 proposals were opened for public comment.[5][6]
The construction on this new station is aimed at January 2017, with the station expected to be opened to the public in December of the same year.[7]
