I've put back the link as Northern Line (Merseyrail). The fact that the line is in the north of England isn't the point: the name is sufficiently vague that it could be anywhere, so appending "Merseyrail" gives a succinct geographical description of where it is. How is the casual reader supposed to know that it's not in, say, Sheffield? --RFBailey 20:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-04-02T20:44:00.000Z","author":"RFBailey","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-RFBailey-2006-04-02T20:44:00.000Z-Northern_Line","replies":[]}}-->

Hey all, does anyone actually know the route of this line. I've tried asking on a railway group and they've never heard of it, they've ionly heard of a "Warrington Direct Line", any help would be appreciated DannyM 12:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-05-27T12:15:00.000Z","author":"Djm1279","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Djm1279-2006-05-27T12:15:00.000Z-Warrington_Link_Line","replies":[],"displayName":"DannyM"}}-->
