This will initially be as a “green corridor” but with the potential for “rail or other transport use” in future – with the initiative named the Sutton Oak Link.
A recent feasibility study commissioned by the council has identified significant potential and a strong business case to “reimagine” the historic route as a “people-focused movement corridor” that connects existing and new communities along the link.
The council says using this historic infrastructure from the borough’s rich industrial heritage as a modern transport route could unlock major benefits and brings yet more positive news for the area which was recently awarded £20 million Pride in Place funding from the Government.
The scheme could:
Reconnect communities and destinations between St Helens Central and Junction stations, including the Moss Nook housing development in Sutton, St Helens Hospital and The Brewdog Stadium.
Provide a safe and inclusive travel corridor for walking, cycling and wheeling.
Create attractive new green spaces for leisure use and improve biodiversity while reducing anti-social behaviour.
Promote healthier lifestyles and travel choices, helping to ease long-standing congestion pinch points on the nearby road network.
Rationalise and improve the bridges along the line.
While regular passenger operations ceased in 1951, the line remained in use for freight and occasional diverted passenger services until 1987, with the final freight train running in September 2002. Today the corridor is inaccessible, creating a physical divide between communities and a negative environment due to overgrowth, littering and anti-social behaviour.
Cllr Kate Groucutt, cabinet member for business and inclusive growth, said: “The emerging Sutton Oak Link scheme presents a transformational opportunity to create a safe, attractive and accessible movement corridor that links our neighbourhoods and breathes new life into this historic route.
