Outside of south east London, London’s Liverpool Street station has replaced Waterloo as the busiest in Britain, new figures show.
The number of entries and exits at Liverpool Street was 80.4 million in the year to the end of March, regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) said.
The year-on-year increase of around 50 million was attributed to the opening of the Elizabeth line railway, which serves the station.
