thread_title:  Move? 

message: Part of the original tunnel between Liverpool Central and James Street was used by the new Northern Line. The remaining part of that tunnel which is used by neither the Wirral Line nor Northern Lines was retained, to provide a connection between the two for moving empty stock between the main EMU depots at Birkenhead North and Kirkdale. Of the original two platforms at James Street, only the westbound remains in regular use.
This shunting tunnel from James St to Central station may be re-used for passengers. 
Wrexham in North Wales have been wanting to be on Merseyrail for access to Liverpool and John Lennon airport. This entails electrification from Bidston to Wrexham line.  Electrification was costed for cheaper overhead wires, entailing duel pick up trains to run on Merseyrail.
This enables Wirral and North Wales trains running into James St, onto Central and out on onto the Northern Line to Liverpool South Parkway and hopefully, eventually a station at John Lennon airport. 
This will give non-stop direct access to Liverpool centre, Liverpool south docks and the arena when St James' station is opened, and onto South Parkway, for people from Chester, Wrexham, New Brighton and West Kirkby.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waterspaces (talk • contribs) 17:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shunting Tunnel 

message: The tunnel does NOT access the platforms. They are to deep.  The tunnel accesses the ticket concourse at the top of the lifts.188.222.175.12 (talk) 13:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Water St entrance tunnel

message: As a native of the City and knowing the area very well I am intrigued as to why the Station has never:-
1. been renamed as 'Pier Head' especially as this is the closest Staiton to it and that there has been so much redevelopment near Albert and King's Docks as well as the new Museum of Liverpool Life, Mann Island etc; and
2. been connected to the other side of the main road near Mann Island with a pedestrian entrance.
The latter would allow passengers to go into the Station from the Pier Head without crossing the main dock road.

replies: text: Updating this nine years later! Another point  - 'James Street' is of very minor significance as a street, it runs from Derby Square to Wapping - Dock Road,it is actually shorter than the connecting pedestrian tunnel between the station and Water Street exit at India Buildings! 79.71.167.235 (talk) 13:08, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
