Saint James railway station, Liverpool
St James' station in Liverpool, England was a railway station situated on the old Cheshire Lines Committee line from Liverpool Central between Central and Brunswick stations. This is now a part of Merseyrail's Northern Line. The station is located at the Parliament Street St. James' Place junction, opposite Saint James' Church.
The station is on an underground tunnel, however not a full underground station being in a deep cutting into the tunnel.
The station closed in 1917 however its proximity to the Liverpool Echo Arena, Anglican Cathedral and other new developments in the surrounding area have focused public attention on reopening it.[citation needed]
Parts of the station's platforms survive, as do some rooms cut into the rock face, and can still be seen on Northern Line trains heading for Southport or Hunts Cross.
