Liverpool loop Line

Lancashire

The Liverpool loop Line is 9.2 miles long from near Aintree to Halewood and was originally linked to the Cheshire Line ‘Path’ railway line. It was in operation between 1879 and 1972, and abandoned in 1964 by British Rail. It was intended to become the Eastern Section of the Merseyrail Outer Loop circling the city. It was built to allow better choice of destinations to Wirral line users. In 1986 it was proposed that it become a walking/cycling route and the opening took place in 2000.

Note: We at Equine Railway Access have seen a video of the whole line by a cyclist and it is clear to us it is perfectly viable to ride on horseback, but can see no references to it being permitted although it is part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
