Liverpool St James railway station
Liverpool St James station in Liverpool, England, was a railway station situated on the old Cheshire Lines Committee line from  between Central and   stations. This line is now a part of Merseyrail's Northern Line. The station is located in a deep cutting between two tunnels at the junction of Parliament Street and St. James' Place, opposite St James' Church. There are plans in place by Merseytravel and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to reopen the station. The new station is to be called Liverpool Baltic, named after the Baltic Triangle development area in which it is situated. History
The station opened on 1 March 1874 and closed on 1 January 1917. In 1913 six people lost their lives in an accident at the station when a train ran into the back of a train standing at the southbound platform. Parts of the station's platforms survive, as do some rooms cut into the rockface. They can be seen on Northern Line trains heading for  or . Reopening as Liverpool Baltic

The station site's proximity to the M&S Bank Arena, Anglican Cathedral, King's Waterfront, Cains Brewery Village and other more recent developments in the surrounding area has focused public attention on reopening it. Construction is expected to start on the new station in 2024, and the station would be open around three years later. References
