By 31 May 1948 the stations on the line had all closed to passengers. The line continued to be used by regular Liverpool Lime Street to Southport services, which operated primarily to provide a convenient connection to/from London trains. When the Merseyrail Loop and Link lines opened in 1977 this final service was deemed surplus to requirements and was withdrawn. 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 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. On 2007 . Accessed July 16 2007 . ROUTE
