Network Rail’s £15m Edge Hill upgrade prepares to boost capacity on Liverpool’s London link

LIVERPOOL Lord Mayor Cllr Mike Storey has opened a new £15m maintenance facility at Wavertree’s Edge Hill rail depot.

Network Rail’s investment will enable engineer Alstom to service eight high-speed Pendolino trains each night for operator Virgin, compared with five previously.

From November, the depot will work on extending the Pendolino fleet as Virgin adds extra capacity to its Liverpool to London route.
