The railway's engineer, George Stephenson, had hoped to avoid the problem of creating the cutting for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway by routing the line further north.[4] However, that plan was objected to by the Earl of Derby and the Earl of Sefton.[4] The cutting was originally designed to accommodate two tracks, and was only {{convert|20|ft}} wide at the top.[5]. In 1871, it was widened to allow four tracks to enter Liverpool Lime Street, because traffic had increased considerably since the station opened.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://spartacus-educational.com/RAolive.htm |title=Olive Mount |publisher=Spartacus-Educational.com |date= |accessdate=2019-02-26}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allertonoak.com/merseySights/SouthLiverpoolWV.html |title=South Liverpool: Wavertree including Mossley Hill |publisher=Allertonoak.com |date=2013-01-04 |accessdate=2014-02-10}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/l/liverpool_edge_hill_cutting/index.shtml |title=Subterranea Britannica: Sites: Liverpool - Edge Hill Cutting and Tunnels |publisher=Subbrit.org.uk |date=2011-01-04 |accessdate=2014-02-10}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://wavsoc.awardspace.info/dhw/page77.html |title=Historic Wavertree, Liverpool - The Olive Mount railway cutting |publisher=Wavsoc.awardspace.info |date=2000-02-26 |accessdate=2014-02-10}} 5. ^{{harvnb|Ashmore|1982|p=166}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nrm.org.uk/ourcollection/photo?group=Crewe&objid=1996-7316_CR_MC_41 |title=Olive Mount Cutting, 1881 - Photos - Our collection - National Railway Museum |publisher=Nrm.org.uk |date=2013-02-28 |accessdate=2014-02-10}} Sources
