Hunts Cross chord

Hunts Cross chord is a section of railway track in Liverpool that was built by the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) to connect the LNWR's Edge Hill to Ditton Junction line with the CLC's Liverpool to Manchester Line. Mainline services between Manchester and Liverpool were diverted to Lime Street from their previous terminus at Central High Level over this connection from 5 September 1966.[1]

Train operating companies using the chord are First TransPennine Express, East Midlands Trains and Northern Rail for services between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Piccadilly along the CLC route.
