The name for a Merseyrail station to be built in the Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool more than a century after the original closed, has been revealed.
Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram confirmed that after a public vote, consisting of more than 1,000 submissions, the new station to be built on the site of the former St James’ stop will be known as Liverpool Baltic. The decision to change the name was taken to avoid confusion with the existing James Street station in Liverpool city centre.
It is expected to open in 2025, subject to funding being secured for the construction stage. The scheme is currently in the design development stage and land has already been purchased to safeguard the site of the planned station ticket office building.
