Lea Green new station and car park - any news on progress

[DJH1971]

Anyone know what is happening with the new station building and car park at Lea Green station on Merseyside?

It appears progress over the last few weeks has come to a standstill.

I went through there today. It looks a fairly new station already:what is being planned?

Took a trip there yesterday and it's practically done. I believe it's opening towards the end of April all being well.

Anybody know if this is still planned to open this week?

Thanks

According to Northern JourneyCheck the ticket office (which will be inside the building I think or apart of the new building) should reopen on the 1st May.

Got off at Lea Green today, and certainly can't see the new station opening tomorrow.

I live 10 minutes away from the station and every time I go past it never looks like its going to be finished. The opening of the the ticket office has been delayed so many times due to something or other.

Got off a few days at Lea Green and the new 'Metro' style branding for the station is up as well as the PIS displays that are now functioning.

Only question is now, when will the new ticket office and car park open?

The work now appears to be effectively completed, so surely it can't be far away.

I must say today was an absolute s**tshow at Lea Green, they've put a wall up meaning people can't get to the car park anymore. I had to walk with a woman and her children in a bike lane to walk around the car park. Most of the roads around the station are closed but yet no structural changes are taking place as it's practically done so family couldn't pick me up so I was on the first train back to Liverpool as it was pathetic... I mean if your going to fill in a temporary entrance to the car back at least have a plan for another entrance or better yet open the station outdoor area and finish the work on the building so people can still get to the car park without the very long walk...
