The latest government figures have been released detailing passenger numbers at train stations across Merseyside last year.
Data from the Office for Rail and Road (ORR) tracks the number of commuters entering and exiting every train station in Britain, including all train stations in Liverpool and Merseyside.
Liverpool Central and Liverpool Lime Street station were the top stations in Merseyside, but what about the rest of Britain? The figures show Liverpool Street in London overtook Waterloo as the most-used station in Great Britain, which the ORR attributed to the opening of London's latest train service, the Elizabeth Line. Waterloo had been the busiest station in the country in all but one of the previous 18 years, but it even dropped to third in the year to March behind Paddington, also on the Elizabeth Line.
