The operator of services at Liverpool’s major rail station is recording passenger numbers “well below” pre-pandemic numbers.
Northern Trains, which runs services out of Liverpool Lime Street, is still facing a “big revenue blackhole” as commuters slowly return to the railways as the impact of Covid-19 was still being felt.
Chris Jackson, regional director at Northern, told members of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority transport committee that passenger numbers stood at around 74% compared to before the pandemic.
