Liverpool St James
(1874 - )
St James Station was located in a cavernous deep cutting to the south of Liverpool Central Station. It opened in March 1874 as part of the Cheshire Lines Railway's extension of their Liverpool and Manchester line into Liverpool's city centre. The line which ran from Brunswick was entirely in tunnels or cuttings until it reached Central Station
St James Station had its booking facilities at street level with steps leading down to two platforms. At its lower level the station was carved out of sandstone rock
The station was an early closure, its last services departing on December 1 1916. For many years after that local and long distance trains thundered through its platforms until the line closed in April 1972. The line re-opened as part of the Merseyrail Northern Line in January 1978 but St James remains closed. Surprisingly much can still be seen of the station from the windows of passing trains despite it being closed for so long
At street level huge sandstone walls and an assortment of railway style buildings in various states of disrepair are all that there is to show that deep beneath the streets this is a railway location
