Headbolt Lane is a 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 provides "turn-back" platforms for interchange between Merseyrail electric and Northern Rail diesel services, replacing the existing transfer facilities at Kirkby station.[1]
The proposal failed to receive Major Scheme Funding in 2013 and was considered unlikely to be built[2]. However, it was built and opened on 5th October 2023.
