The new station planned to serve a major new business and housing development on Merseyside will be known as Liverpool Baltic.

In a poll of more than 1,000 potential users, the name secured 77.7% of the vote, beating Liverpool Parliament Street (15.2%) and Liverpool Riverside (7.1%). 

The new station will be located between Liverpool Central and Brunswick station on the Northern Line, on the site of the original 1874 St James platforms that closed during the First World War.
