abstract
  • There are three Liverpool to Manchester railway routes between the cities of Liverpool and Manchester in the North West of England. Two are continuous with one now previously continuous requiring a change of train as it is served partly by electric and partly by diesel traction. * The Northern Route from Liverpool Central underground station via Kirkby and Wigan Wallgate to Manchester Victoria. However this line requires a change at Kirkby, using the same platform, to change from the Merseyrail electric Northern Line trains to the Northern Rail diesel trains. Sections of this route were built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and their acquired railways, such as the Liverpool and Bury Railway and the Manchester and Southport Railway. * The Middle Route from Liverpool Lime Street terminus station via Earlestown and Newton-le-Willows to either Manchester Victoria or Manchester Piccadilly. This line follows the route of the original 1830 Liverpool and Manchester Railway. * The Southern Route from Liverpool Lime Street terminus via Warrington Central to Manchester Piccadilly operates on lines formerly owned by the Cheshire Lines Committee.
