Plans to reopen the former Liverpool St James' Station closed in 1917 are being progressed by Merseyrail.

Apparently to avoid confusion with James Street they will not be using the original name St James' but are looking for a new one.It has been a long-held ambition to create a new station that serves the Baltic area - one of the fastest growing parts of Liverpool.
The Baltic, which lies on the southern edge of the city centre, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 15 years, changing from a collection of derelict docklands warehouses to a thriving social, commercial and creative hub.
It is now home to a diverse range of over 350 creative and digital industries, with over 1,000 apartments built since 2012 and plans for at least 3,000 more, alongside the various popular creative and leisure facilities that have opened.
The station also requires a new name - and the Liverpool City Region wants people to vote for their favourite of a selection of naming options.
