This cutting once contained the two tracks of the Fazakerley to Bootle (North Mersey) line. Only one track remains, and this apparently has been disused since 2005 (the line saw no regular traffic since it lost its connection to the docks in 1971). Although the route would make a fine cycleway, as an extension of the Liverpool Extension Line (NCN62), it seems Network Rail wants to hang on to it just in case a passenger service can be revived in future.
