Liverpool
dead subway, LRT under construction
Lawd Have Mersey!
There is no subway in Liverpool,
though a 3 line LRT, "Merseytram", was approved in December, 2002. There used to be an el (the Liverpool Overhead
Railway) which included a subway at it's downtown terminus but that was,
sadly, abandoned in 1956. There is a 5.8 mile Merseyside subway tunnel
through which a 49 station, 51.5 mile commuter train network is run and
is sometimes classified as a subway.
