Ged, here is Kirkdale station. The red line is the Canada Dock Branch Line running "under" the station in a deep cutting at the bottom where it enters a tunnel. Platforms could be built in the cutting with stairs up to the existing ground level station. This may entail cutting into rock, so not cheap.

The tunnel to Rice Lane is on the same level as the Merseyrail Line and is clearly seen in the rock face. The tunnel is seen from the platforms. It was used until the mid to late 1970s. The line out of the tunnel from the outer loop easily merges into the existing Merseyrail line at this station being on the same level. It runs in the station running at the other side of the existing platform.

The line ran out of the Kirkdale to Rice Lane tunnel heading south then entered a tunnel into Huskisson Dock freight yard.
