The Baltic Triangle is one of Britain's great regeneration success stories. And there's a station right next to it. There's just one problem - the station has been closed for a century.

I've been reporting on the Baltic in Liverpool for more than a decade, and I've seen it change from a half-forgotten semi-industrial cluster into a thriving business and leisure district.

It's become best known as a visitor destination, thanks to its bars and venues, and events such as Bongo's Bingo.

But the area’s growth began with the creative and digital sectors, as small firms moved into venues such as Elevator Studios and Baltic Creative.

Last month, businesses gave their backing to the St James Station plans, describing them as a 'major priority'.

Despite the arrival of the inevitable blocks of flats, the area remains a creative and digital  hub with artists, musicians, designers and video game producers among those who call it home.

And all of those pioneers have at some point looked up the hill to the site of the old St James Station and thought about how much better the area would be if that transport hub were reopened.
