Where are the busiest train stations in Flintshire? | The Leader

Office for Rail and Road (ORR) data looks at the number of people entering and exiting every train station in the country, including the nine stations for which data was collected in Flintshire.

Its 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.
