Headbolt Lane railway station

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 diesel services, replacing the existing transfer facilities at Kirkby station.

The proposal failed to receive Major Scheme Funding in 2013. However it was mentioned in Merseytravels 2014 30-year plan. The Electrification Task force placed electrifying the line from Kirkby to Salford Crescent via Wigan in a Tier 1 priority category. The electrification of the line may accelerate the building of the station.
