Does this page need a route diagram like the ones for the Northern Line and Wirral Line? Anyone want to have a go at drawing one? Rhmeuk 00:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
It looks like the City Line no longer exists as part of the Merseyrail network. It does not currently appear anywhere on the Merseyrail website Njlawley ( talk) 18:43, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
That's because it's operated for Merseytravel by Northern Rail, rather than Merseyrail like the other two lines ( [1]). JaJaWa | talk 20:37, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for muddling this up but I hope/trust I have corrected this page from an earlier renaming to City line (Merseytravel) by another user. Babydoll9799 ( talk) 23:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Forgot to say this is under the “future” section. Maurice Oly ( talk) 19:11, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Can “ Northern Rail operate the trains on this electrified section of tracks.[10]” please be looked at and changed as the link in [10] is dead and Northern Rail no longer exist. Maurice Oly ( talk) 19:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

City Line (Merseyrail) → City Line (Merseytravel) – Merseyrail's website carries barely any mention of the City Line because it is not operated by them. It is timetabled, managed, branded, etc. by Merseytravel. As part of fixing the confusion caused by including the City Line with the Merseyrail article, something that was pushed strongly in the past by a now-blocked editor, tidying up that article would be greatly assisted by renaming this article and then moving most of the City Line content out of Merseyrail into Merseytravel where it belongs. 10mmsocket ( talk) 18:08, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
The Merseyrail network is an entirely third rail Direct Current (DC) electrified network spread over the Liverpool City Region, north Cheshire and south west Lancashire. The network is split in two: the Wirral Line and the Northern Line.
Merseyrail and City Line networksimplying they are somewhat separate, which Merseytravel sometimes specify as
Merseyrail Electrics Networkin the document.
across its Wirral, City and Northern lines, Merseyrail is [...]and later
Merseyrail [...] with its new lines - named the Northern Line, City Line and Wirral Line, but later states
[The City Line] now are on routes operated by Northern Rail and aren’t served by Merseyrail trains[2] and
The modern Northern and Wirral lines were created and linked through a number of engineering projects which took place during the 1970s [...] finished in 1977, which created the integrated Merseyrail network that we see today, with additional references to 1970s Merseyrail, [3] therefore I believe the City Line was supposed to be a core part of Merseyrail, but is no longer considered (at least mainly) as such compared to the Northern and Wirral lines, in particular by the transport bodies, especially in relation to potential devolution.
