About Lime Street Station

Lime Street Station is the main train station for the city of Liverpool. Liverpool has always been one of the UK's most important port cities, and so it's no surprise that the railways came here early. Opened in 1836, Lime Street station is one of the oldest still-operating train stations in the world. To this day, the station is still served by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, which was the first intercity rail line ever built. Of course, nowadays, Lime Street Station also serves many other regional and national destinations.

Lime Street wasn't Liverpool's first railway station, however. The very first station was built in 1830 just outside the city. However, it soon became clear that there was a need for a more central terminus. The land to build Lime Street Station was purchased for 9,000 pounds, a figure which seems laughable today.

As the Industrial Revolution continued and British trade made the country rich, the city of Liverpool and its train stations grew rapidly. The station underwent several expansions in the 19th and 20th centuries, making it into the transit hub it is today. Now, the station serves around 15 million passengers every year.
