A sixth station is currently under construction at Headbolt Lane in Kirkby due to open in 2023

Knowsley is well served by five train stations located in Huyton, Kirkby, Prescot, Roby and Whiston.

The new £80m station will extend the Merseyrail network, which currently terminates at Kirkby, to a new location of Headbolt Lane. This will improve transport links for the Northwood  and Tower Hill areas of Kirkby as well as for Knowsley Business Park.
