00:00Plans for the new Liverpool-Baltic railway station have been delayed.
00:05The Mayor of the Liverpool City Region has now confirmed that the project is now expected
00:10to open in 2029 instead of 2027.
00:14Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, Steve Rotherham said Network Rail is unable to prioritise
00:21the work due to other rail commitments.

00:34designed to include step-free access, modern facilities, toilets and cycle storage.
