Merseytravel intend that St James railway station will be reopened as part of the Liverpool City Region transport plan.[7]

Future

St James railway station, which has been closed for a century, may reopen because of the important Baltic Triangle development in Toxteth. If opened, the station will be on the Merseyrail Northern Line between Liverpool Central and Brunswick railway station

Notes

1. Underground station only. There are more platforms in the mainline station
2. Applies to the whole station, not just the underground.
