Rename Liverpool train station St. James as "St. Jayne's".


Rename Liverpool train station St. James as "St. Jayne's".
The Issue
Liverpool's defunct St. James train station is set to reopen under a new name, to serve the Baltic Triangle area of the city.
At present there have only been three options open for a public vote on the renaming of St. James station, with a deadline of February 18.
We propose that a fourth option, "St. Jayne's", is added to the ballot.
The proposed name change to "St. Jaynes" is intended to acknowledge the role local artist and activist Jayne Casey played in the creation of the Baltic Triangle in the early 2000s.
Vicky Andrews in Liverpool Confidentials writes: "Jayne Casey played a huge part in the Baltic resurgence; pioneering the creation of the Baltic Creative. The 70s punk legend has been a key player in Liverpool’s artistic and creative scene and at the forefront of some of the largest cultural happenings in Liverpool’s recent history, including Capital of Culture, the Biennial Festival and the nightclub empire, Cream."
Put simply, without the foresight of Jayne Casey there would be no Baltic Triangle.
