Planned Reopening
Proposals existed to reopen and electrify the line forming the eastern section of the Merseyrail Outer Loop. This section would run from Hunts Cross to Gateacre continuing north onto Broad Green, which would then turn west into Liverpool city centre or continue on north to Aintree. Parliamentary approval for the plans was obtained in 1975. However, this never materialised.
The line is protected for future use.

Famous quotes containing the word planned:
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
