OVER the years I have been asking Merseyrail when they intend on electrifying our railway station in Upton.

With all the talk of revamping the Wirral line and the investment in HS2 I would have expected Upton station to be included in the work.

I am disabled and I find having to change at Bidston time consuming and inconvenient.

Trains from Upton station go as far as Wrexham which if linked would enable direct travel to Liverpool including Chester and all of the benefits of tourism, etc.

I have been told every time that there is no chance of the line being electrified.

I just feel it is such a waste of a potentially useful resource which at present is hardly used.

I hope that Merseyrail reconsider the opportunities and potential increase of custom on the railway via Upton.
