The Victoria Tunnel in Liverpool is a 2475 metres long rail tunnel, it opened in 1849. One end was Liverpool Riverside station, Waterloo Goods station and the dock railway, the other end opens into a short cutting which connects to the Waterloo Tunnel, which leads to Edge Hill station. The tunnel closed 19 Nov 1972.
The Victoria Tunnel was considered as an addition to Merseyrail in 1975. At Liverpool Central station, spur works were built to enable a tunneled connection to the Victoria Tunnel and so to Edge Hill station and the inner loop, which would have allowed stations like Breck Road station to reopen as part of the MerseyRail system.
