Olive Mount Cutting
Looking west, the cutting is part of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The new works are the re-instating of the N to E part of Olive Mount Junction to give direct access to the line to Bootle and North Docks. The houses on the right are built on the site of the headshunt of the Edge Hill 'gridiron' of sidings.

The Fifteen Guinea Special in Olive Mount Cutting ? 1968
This was the very last standard gauge steam passenger train operated by British Rail, on 11 August 1968, regular steam services having ended the previous weekend. The named was coined to reflect the cost of a ticket for the journey.
The train ran from Liverpool to Carlisle and return, travelling via Manchester, Blackburn and the Settle and Carlisle line. Between Liverpool and Manchester it was hauled by Stanier 'Black 5' 4-6-0 locomotive 45110, seen here passing through the iconic Olive Mount cutting on the outskirts of Liverpool. This was one of the major engineering works of the original Liverpool and Manchester of 1830, and would be no mean feat even in the 21st century. The relatively soft and homogeneous Bunter Sandstone meant that the cutting could be excavate with vertical sides which adds to the impressiveness.
