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:
“Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 1:18,19.
