RE: Northern Rail
Splitting hairs I think! It uses the Liverpool to Manchester line, which to me is how the question was phrased. The coal trains don't serve Lime St!

Also, when it runs, 6F78, 11:30 from Fiddlers uses the low level line via Ditton and South Parkway and runs round in Wapping sidings to gain access to the Bootle Branch.

At least one freight does use most of the length of the line, 6E14, 16:10 Seaforth to Tinsley empty steel train, which is booked to run on Fridays.
