During the construction of the Link line in the 1970s, provision was made for an underground junction south of Liverpool Central station. This was to access a new tunnel, via a new underground station at the University of Liverpool, then joining the Waterloo Tunnel to provide a connection to Edge Hill. Further electrification works would then have meant some City Line services (e.g. from St Helens Central) could have been connected to the Merseyrail network. An Act of Parliament was passed in 1975 to allow the construction of this scheme, but it was never built. Restarting this sceme is in talks lately.
The Canada Dock Branch (currently a busy freight-only line) is in talks to be reopened to passengers, allowing the reopening stations of Spellow, Walton & Anfield, Breck Road, Tue Brook, Old Swan(Stanley) and Edge Lane stations. This would provide a connection from the Northern Line (south of Bootle) to Liverpool Lime Street and the City Line.
There is also talks to Re-Open the North Liverpool Extention Branch From kirkdale to halewood with stations along the branch which has been proposed to be: 'Queens Drive' 'Norris Green' 'Clubmoor' 'West Derby' 'Knotty Ash' ' Broadgreen' 'Childwall' 'Gateacre' and 'Woolton'
Kirkdale Station is to have a huge update again with 4 new platforms for the canada dock line and north liverpool extension line, also liverpool central will have a huge update with 2 more platforms being added.
The wapping tunnel is to be reopened starting with a new station at the new arena at the docks to edge hill with stations along the way of 'Anglican Catherdral' and 'crown street'
