All of us who are intending to arrive in Liverpool by train on 14th June should be aware that phase 2 of the redevelopment of the station starts on 2nd June and runs for several weeks. This is likely to lead to full or partial closure of the station at times. I cannot find any further detail of exact details and dates but it may be that services from Crewe will terminate at South Parkway (used to be Allerton before being rebuilt.) This is further east than Lime Street so further to cycle although there is a frequent Merseyrail service from SP to Moorfields which is only a few minutes from the Steam Packet departure pier. I recommend checking where your service is going before booking. I will help with this if asked.
Update 22/3/18
Lime Street station WILL be closed to services from Crewe and Manchester Pic. and the terminating station will be South Parkway. Clyde suggests this leaves some 7 miles to go to the Ferry terminal - sounds about right - or, as I said, there is a Merseyrail service from SP to Moorfields. I will try to find a safe route from SP to the terminal for those determined and with sufficient time to ride.

About 7 miles cycling it from South Parkway to the dock then, Peter?
ReplyDeleteThere will shortly be a suggested route on Garmin from LPY to the Ferry Terminal. Exactly 11km, 3 on quiet roads and 8 on the river path which is mostly excellent.
ReplyDeleteFollowing further enquiries I can advise that Merseyrail services leave Liverpool South Parkway (the platforms at the extreme south of the concourse) for Moorfields every 15 minutes at 7, 22, 37 and 52 minutes past each hour. The journey time is 19 minutes and the cost is £3.50. Allowing for a few minutes wait for the next train and then getting from Moorfields to the Ferry (only a few minutes if you know the way) the journey time is about the same as riding from LPY. The only saving grace would be if it were to be raining.
