Headbolt Lane is a proposed new railway station in the Northwood area of Kirkby, Merseyside, England. As part of the planned extension of Merseyrail's Northern Line along the Kirkby Branch Line, the station is expected to provide "turn-back" platforms for interchange between Merseyrail electric and Northern Rail diesel services, replacing the existing transfer facilities at Kirkby station.[1]
According to Network Rail's Strategic Development Plan for Merseyrail, the station is expected to be constructed "in CP4 [2009-2014] as a scheme fully funded by outside parties.
Plans for the station were originally drawn up as part of the electrification of the Kirkby-Kirkdale branch in the 1970s, but were never put into action due to financial constraints.
