A third line, the City Line, is not owned or operated by Merseyrail. All three lines are funded by Merseytravel. The Northern Line passes underground through Liverpool city centre with termini at: * to the south; * , * , and * to the north. == Description == The line runs from Hunts Cross via the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) route towards Liverpool Central. Brunswick station between and Liverpool Central was added in 1998 to provide a connection to the Brunswick Business Park. Just south of Liverpool Central, the line leaves the CLC route, in tunnel at that point, into a 1970s tunnel that drops to a lower level into the underground Mersey Railway Liverpool Central (Low Level) station. North of Central the line uses the Mersey Railway tunnel for about half of the route to Moorfields, an underground station built in the 1970s to replace the surface-level Liverpool Exchange. North of Moorfields the route emerges from the tunnel to join the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway lines from the former Exchange station. After Sandhills, the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway branches off towards Southport, while the other routes continue to Kirkdale on what was a joint section of track between Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway and the Liverpool and Bury Railway. After Kirkdale, the Ormskirk and Kirkby lines diverge. Trains from Hunts Cross continue to Southport, while trains to Ormskirk and Kirkby start at Liverpool Central. Daytime trains operate every 15 minutes on each of the three routes Monday to Saturday and every 30 minutes on Sundays, except in summer when Sunday frequencies on the Southport route are increased to every 15 minutes. In peak hours the frequency on that route is every eight minutes during peak hours, when trains on the Southport and Ormskirk routes are increased to six carriages, as are weekend services during the summer on the Southport route. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northern Line (Merseyrail)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
