St. James Station To Reopen

This article on the Liverpool Echo is entitled Merseyside Set To Get Two New Train Stations As Part Of Massive Transport Investment.

One of the new stations will be a reopened Liverpool St. James station, which closed in 1917.

This Google Map shows the location of the station.

In the North-East corner is Liverpool’s Anglican cathedral.

In the South-West, there is a large road junction, where Parliament Street meets St. James Place. To the South-West of this junction, there is a black hole.

This Google Map shows a close-up of the hole.

Note the railway tracks in the dark of the hole.

This was where St. James station was located between Liverpool Central and Brunswick stations.

It would be a challenge to design a station, but one that a decent architect should enjoy.

This page on Disused Stations gives more details and several pictures of the station in all its glory.
