By 31 May 1948 the stations on the line had all closed for passenger services, though trains from Liverpool Lime Street to Southport used the line. When the Merseyrail Loop and Link lines opened in 1977 all passenger use ended. It is currently a busy freight-only line and is sometime called the Bootle Branch or '''Seaforth Container Terminal Branch'''(SCT). Rebuilding the Olive Mount Rail Chord has been suggested in order to increase usage of the line for freight purposes. It could also be reopened to passengers; this would provide a connection from the Northern Line (south of Bootle ) to Liverpool Lime Street and the City Line. ROUTE
