Three new Merseyrail stations are set to be opened before the end of 2030.
Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram has signalled his intention to create purpose-built stations at Woodchurch in Wirral, Carr Mill in St Helens and Daresbury in Halton.
The local rail network saw two stations opened in the last six years with Maghull North in 2018 followed by the £80 million launch of Headbolt Lane in Kirkby last year.
Mayor Rotheram also revealed that he is aiming to complete Liverpool Baltic station, located near the city centre, by 2027 in addition to upgrading Moorfields station.
Further proposals include plans to deliver a seven-day network with an increased timetable at weekends and evenings within the next four years.
Mayor Rotheram said: “Since I’ve been Mayor, I’ve worked around the clock to give our region what Londoners get to enjoy every day: a reliable, accessible, affordable and integrated network that helps, rather than hinders people getting about.
“But I know that in some parts of our region, Liverpool can feel as distant and inaccessible as London. I’m working to put that right, bringing local people closer to each other and to the opportunities we’re creating.
“My record is in stark contrast to the Conservatives in government. While they’ve stripped back investment in decent rail infrastructure, such as HS2, I’ve opened two new stations already – with one more under construction and three more about to join them.
“We’ve bought half a billion pounds worth of brand new trains and are taking back control of the local network too.”
