And look, I know it\u2019s not a competition.

So much so, that when it came to the top ten, no other city got a look in. But which is <strong>the busiest station of all<\/strong>, I hear you ask? Well, folks. <strong>London Liverpool Street<\/strong> has officially scored itself a hat trick, having been crowned <strong>Britain\u2019s busiest station<\/strong> for the third year running.<\/p>\n<p>The jam-packed station in the heart of the city saw a rather eye-watering number of passengers pass through its barriers between <strong>April 2024 and March 2025<\/strong>.
