Transport for City Regions - New Stations Programme Feasibility Study and Gateway 2 Business Case development

For Woodchurch (Wirral) and Daresbury (Halton), the Combined Authority requires Feasibility Studies to investigate the potential of each scheme to the LCR's Gateway 1 and 2 and provide an output which meets the requirements of a Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC).

In order to support the submission of Gateway 1 and Gateway 2, work will include:

• Developing the strategic case for intervention
• Assessing operational considerations
• Understanding existing and future passenger demand
• Exploring site and concept design options
• Producing high level cost estimates, and
• Engagement with local and railway industry stakeholders
• Developing a Gateway 2 Business Case following DfT's SOBC five case model process.
