andyk, I'm sure a single platform could be squeezed in at high level, but I have no idea how the line would rejoin the line to take you to the airport. But having said that, I don't know why this would be done as any rebuild/relocation of Central could take this into consideration and have it terminate in the 'new' more modern underground station.

I totally agree ! There is little chance of the High Level site being reused as a station NEVERTHELESS
it is fun to envisage such projects and discuss them.Anyone intelligent will enjoy the debate without the need to put down or ridicule someone who innocently proposes something "unusual" such as the reopening of Exchange !
A last word on the feasability of connecting High Level to the link:
As things stand,the old tunnel goes nowhere,as it was deepened to run into
Central.However,it would not be a huge engineering task to construct a ramp that would maintain the original tunnels depth and reconnect the disused length.The tunnel is certainly wide enough !

Pie in the sky ? Perhaps ! In anycase I'm not a fanatic like Waterways and I'm happy to let my "pet-project" descend into the darkness of the YoLiverpool archives !
