Liverpool – How to get there – train



If you decide to reach Liverpool via train, it’s most probable you will end up at Liverpool Lime Street Station, that represents the main rail hub of the town. The station is located in the city centre, just at the end of Lime Street, opposite St George’s Hall. From here you can easily reach all the destinations in town. You can find the bus and taxi stops just outside the station or you can simply walk anywhere in the city centre.

These are the operating companies that serve this station:
East Midlands Trains operates express services to Norwich via Sheffield and Nottingham.
First TransPennine Express operates express services to Scarborough via Leeds and York.
London Midland operates a half hourly service to Birmingham.
Northern Rail operates local services to Blackpool North, Manchester, Preston, Warrington Bank Quay and Wigan North Western.
Virgin Trains operates an hourly express service to London Euston.

At the moment the station is under major redevelopment works, so the entrance on Gloucester Street will remain closed until spring 2010.
