London Liverpool Street is Great Britain’s busiest railway station for the third year running with almost 100 million entries and exits.
The results, from ORR’s latest annual estimates of station usage statistics (April 2024 to March 2025) published today, reflect the continuing impact of the Elizabeth line, which has reshaped travel patterns across London since the central section opened in May 2022. Its services continue to drive high usage at London Liverpool Street, Paddington, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon and Stratford.
Six of the top 10 most popular flows – journeys between stations – were between stations served by the Elizabeth line, with 8.7m journeys between London Liverpool Street and Tottenham Court Road.
