'''Liverpool Lime Street''' is a [[Terminal train station|terminus]] railway station and the main station serving the [[Liverpool City Centre|city centre]] of [[Liverpool]]. Opened in August 1836, it is the oldest still-operating grand terminus mainline station in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://benskibarrowexpress.wordpress.com/liverpool-lime-street/|title=Liverpool Lime Street|date=2017-05-30|website=BenskiBarrowExpressTrainsInfo|language=en|access-date=2020-01-20|archive-date=3 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803213836/https://benskibarrowexpress.wordpress.com/liverpool-lime-street/|url-status=dead}}{{Self-published source|date=January 2020}}</ref> A branch of the [[West Coast Main Line]] from [[Euston railway station|London Euston]] terminates at the station, as does the original [[Liverpool and Manchester Railway]]. Journeys from Lime Street cover a wide range of destinations across England, Scotland and Wales.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/8897/tpes-liverpool-scotland-service-delayed/|title=TPE's Liverpool-Scotland service delayed|date=3 March 2019}}</ref>

Having realised that their existing [[Crown Street railway station]] was too far away from the city centre, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway commenced construction of the more central Lime Street station in October 1833. Designed by [[John Cunningham (architect)|John Cunningham]], [[Arthur Hill Holme|Arthur Holme]] and [[John Foster (architect, born 1786)|John Foster Jr]], it was officially opened in August 1836. Proving to be very popular with train commuters, expansion of the station had become necessary within six years of its opening. The first expansion, which was collaboratively produced by [[Joseph Locke]], [[Richard Turner (iron-founder)|Richard Turner]], [[William Fairbairn]] and [[John Kennedy (manufacturer)|John Kennedy]], was completed in 1849 at a total cost of £15,000 ({{Inflation|UK|15000|1849|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} During 1867, work upon a further expansion of Lime Street station commenced, during which time the present northern arched train shed was built. Designed by [[William Baker (engineer)|William Baker]] and Francis Stevenson, the train shed was the largest such structure in the world upon completion, featuring a span of {{convert|200|ft|m}}, as well as the first to make extensive use of [[iron]]. During 1879, a second parallel southern train shed was completed.

Following the [[British Rail#Nationalisation in 1948|nationalisation of the railways]] in 1948, Lime Street station was the subject of various upgrades and alterations, including new signalling systems in and around the station, a redeveloped concourse, and new retail and office spaces. In 1962, regular electric services between Lime Street and [[Crewe railway station|Crewe]] were officially started and, in 1966, the station hosted the launch of its first [[InterCity (British Rail)|InterCity]] service, which saw the introduction of a regular {{convert|100|mph|abbr=on}} service between Liverpool and London. During the 1970s, a new urban rail network known as [[Merseyrail]] was developed, while all other long-distance terminal stations in Liverpool were closed, resulting in such services being centralised at Lime Street for the whole city. In October 2003, the [[British Rail Class 390|Pendolino]] service operated by [[Virgin Trains West Coast]] was ceremonially unveiled at the station, introducing a faster service between Liverpool and London. In May 2015, the electrification of the former Liverpool and Manchester Railway route was completed, as well as the line to [[Wigan]] via [[St Helens Central]].

Lime Street station is fronted by a large building designed in the [[Renaissance Revival architecture|Renaissance Revival]] style, the former [[North Western Hotel, Liverpool|North Western Hotel]], which served as a hotel, office and student accommodation and now back to a hotel as the Radisson Red Liverpool Hotel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hotelnewsresource.com/article101830.html|title = Radisson RED Liverpool Hotel Opening in 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=New images show interior of £20m Radisson RED |url=https://lbndaily.co.uk/new-images-show-interior-20m-radisson-red/ |access-date=31 July 2021 |work=Liverpool Business News |date=29 July 2021}}</ref> The hotel is set to open in December 2022.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/radisson-red-hotel-open-iconic-23689427 | title=Grand new hotel to open in Liverpool's city centre this summer | date=14 April 2022 }}</ref>

Since the 1970s, the main terminal building has also provided direct access to the [[underground rail|underground]] Lime Street [[Wirral Line]] station on the Merseyrail network. Beginning in the 1960s, the [[Concourse House]] office tower block and several retailers stood outside the southern train shed, but they were demolished in 2010. Lime Street is the largest and oldest railway station in Liverpool; it is one of 18 stations managed by national infrastructure maintenance company [[Network Rail]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.networkrail.co.uk/communities/passengers/our-stations/ |title=Our stations |work=Network Rail |access-date=2 March 2017}}</ref> During 2017, work commenced at Lime Street station on a £340 million remodelling programme. In ''Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations'', written by columnist and editor [[Simon Jenkins]], Lime Street Station was one of only ten stations to be awarded 5/5 stars.<ref>Jenkins, Simon and Richard Morrison.

==History==
===Origins===
The original terminus of the 1830 [[Liverpool and Manchester Railway]] (L&MR) was located at [[Crown Street Station|Crown Street]], in [[Edge Hill, Liverpool|Edge Hill]], to the east of and outside the city centre. However, even before Edge Hill had been opened, it was apparent that there was a pressing need for another station to be built, which would this time be closer to the city centre. Accordingly, during October 1833, the construction commenced on a purpose-built station at Lime Street in the city centre; the land was purchased from Liverpool Corporation for £9,000 ({{Inflation|UK|9000|1833|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}}<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/localhistory/journey/lime_street/station/history.shtml |title=Lime Street Station |work=BBC |date=24 September 2014 |access-date=15 February 2017}}</ref> The means of connecting the new station to L&MR's network came in the form of a twin-track tunnel, which had been constructed between Edge Hill and the site of the new Lime Street station a year prior to work being started on the station itself; during the construction effort, the tunnel was frequently used to transport building materials for the station onto the site. The station was designed by the architects [[John Cunningham (architect)|John Cunningham]], [[Arthur Hill Holme|Arthur Holme]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/building_full.php?id=202827 |title=Basic Site Details – Lime Street Station |publisher=Dictionary of Scottish Architects |access-date=4 January 2015}}</ref> and [[John Foster (architect, born 1786)|John Foster Jr]].<ref name="Echo-20120407">{{cite web |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/merseyside-tales-liverpool-lime-street-3346776 |title=Merseyside Tales: Liverpool Lime Street station's development |work=Liverpool Echo |date=7 April 2012 |access-date=16 February 2017}}</ref>

[[File:Roscoe GJR(1839) p155 - Entrance to the Railway Station at Liverpool.jpg|thumb|A period depiction of the original Lime Street Station frontage circa 1839]]

This building was designed with four large gateways, two of which were intentionally nonfunctional.<ref name="Echo-20120407" /><ref name="ItsLiverpool">{{cite web |url=http://www.itsliverpool.com/arts-and-culture/a-complete-history-of-liverpool-lime-street/ |title=The Life of Lime Street |work=It's Liverpool |access-date=17 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216225613/http://www.itsliverpool.com/arts-and-culture/a-complete-history-of-liverpool-lime-street/|archive-date=16 February 2017}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Brown|1843|p=155}}</ref> For its early operations, as a consequence of the steep incline uphill from Lime Street to Edge Hill, trains would be halted at Edge Hill and the locomotives detached from the trains; the practice of the era was for the passenger carriages to be taken down by [[gravity]], during which the rate of descent would be controlled by [[brakeman|brakemen]] located in a brake van. The return journey was achieved via the use of a stationary [[steam engine]] located at Edge Hill, which would be used to haul the carriages up to Edge Hill by rope. This system was constructed by the local engineering firm [[Mather, Dixon and Company]], who worked under the direction of the engineer [[John Grantham]]. During 1870, this practice came to an end; instead, trains would enter and depart the station by conventional means.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=1416|title=Liverpool & Manchester Railway |work=Engineering Timelines |access-date=15 February 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://hummedia.manchester.ac.uk/institutes/marc/research/projects/past-projects/LiverpoolReportv2.pdf |title=Liverpool's Lost Railway Heritage |first1=Angela |last1=Connelly |first2=Michael |last2=Hebbert |work=Manchester Architecture Research Centre |publisher=University of Manchester |page=18 |date=March 2011 |access-date=16 February 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216211824/http://hummedia.manchester.ac.uk/institutes/marc/research/projects/past-projects/LiverpoolReportv2.pdf |archive-date=16 February 2017 |df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Whishaw|1842|p=193}}</ref>

===Early expansion===
Lime Street Station was a near-instant success with the railway-going public. Within six years of its opening, the rapid growth of the railways had necessitated the expansion of the original station. An early plan for the enlarged station would have involved the erection of an iron roof, similar to that found at [[Euston railway station|Euston station]] (pre 1960's rebuilding) in London, which was a ridge roof supported by iron columns. However, a different proposal quickly gained the approval of the station committee. A single curved roof was produced by a collaborative effort; designed and [[load testing|load tested]] by engineer [[Joseph Locke]], with construction contracted to [[iron founder]] [[Richard Turner (iron-founder)|Richard Turner]], and the work checked by engineer [[William Fairbairn]] and manufacturer [[John Kennedy (manufacturer)|John Kennedy]].<ref name="ET-LSSR">{{cite web |url=http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=609 |title=Lime Street Station Roof |work=Engineering Timelines |access-date=16 February 2017}}</ref><ref name="LA">{{cite web |url=http://www.liverpoolarchitecture.com/tours/buildings/building.php?id=1 |title=Lime Street Station |publisher=LiverpoolArchitecture.com |access-date=30 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040808064345/http://www.liverpoolarchitecture.com/tours/buildings/1.shtml |archive-date=8 August 2004}}</ref> The expansion work was performed at a cost of £15,000 ({{Inflation|UK|15000|1849|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} and was completed during 1849, by which time the noted architect [[William Tite]] had also been involved.<ref name="RT1" /> Meanwhile, during 1845, the L&MR had been absorbed by its principal business partner, the [[Grand Junction Railway]] (GJR); the following year the GJR became part of the [[London and North Western Railway]]. Amongst the features which date back to the 1846–1849 rebuild of the station are a group of four columns which adjoin former Platform 1, they have been attributed to engineer [[Edward Woods (engineer)|Edward Woods]].<ref name="Sharples186">{{harvnb|Sharples|Pollard|2004|p=186}}</ref>

By 1857, a pair of [[granite]] columns had been erected outside the station entrance; over time, these had become known as the "Candlesticks".<ref name="Echo-20120407" />{{sfn|Herdman|1968|loc=Plate 29}} During 1867, further expansion of Lime Street Station was required to cope with operational demands; changes included the present northern arched train shed.

As a result of the [[Railways Act 1921]], which grouped the majority of railway companies together to create the [[Big Four (British railway companies)|Big Four]], Lime Street Station passed into the ownership of the newly formed [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway|London, Midland and Scottish]] (LMS) railway.

Upon [[British Rail#Nationalisation in 1948|nationalisation of the railways]] during 1948, Lime Street Station became a part of the [[London Midland Region of British Railways]]. On 28 January 1948, a new [[signal box]] controlling movements in and around Lime Street was commissioned; this signal box would remain in use for almost 70 years, being one of the last lever frames boxes still in operation by the time of its decommissioning during 2017–2018.<ref name = "rail engsig16">{{cite web |url=https://www.railengineer.co.uk/2016/09/14/liverpool-lime-street-resignalling/ |title=Liverpool Lime Street Resignalling |work=Rail Engineer |date=14 September 2016 |access-date=18 February 2017 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> During 1955, the station concourse was redeveloped and modernised.<ref name="RT1" /> During 1959, preparatory work commenced at Lime Street for the first stage of the electrification of the [[West Coast Main Line]].<ref>{{harvnb|Cadwallader|Jenkins|2010|p=55}}</ref> On 1 January 1962, regular electric services between Lime Street and [[Crewe railway station|Crewe]] were officially started.<ref>{{harvnb|Cadwallader|Jenkins|2010|p=56}}</ref>

During the 1970s, a new urban rail network, known as [[Merseyrail#Creation of Merseyrail|Merseyrail]] was developed, resulting in four terminus stations being taken out of use in Liverpool and Birkenhead centres.<ref group="nb">These were [[Birkenhead Woodside railway station|Birkenhead Woodside]], [[Liverpool Riverside railway station|Liverpool Riverside]], [[Liverpool Exchange railway station|Liverpool Exchange]] and [[Liverpool Central High Level railway station|Liverpool Central High Level]] stations.</ref> As a consequence of this restructuring and rationalization, only Lime Street remained as a terminus, thus serving as a central point for the whole region for medium- and long-haul routes. At the same time, the Merseyrail network provided commuters with ease of access across the whole Merseyside region to the one remaining large terminus.

Between 1983 and 1984, the station concourse was again altered and refurbished at a total estimated cost of £7.4 million.<ref name="RT1" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1983/nov/29/liverpool-lime-street-railway-station |title=Liverpool Lime Street Railway Station |work=[[Hansard|Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)]] |date=29 November 1983 |access-date=16 February 2017}}</ref><ref name="Hansard19840430">{{cite web |url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1984/apr/30/liverpool-lime-street-station |title=Liverpool Lime Street Railway Station |work=[[Hansard|Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)]] |date=30 April 1984 |access-date=16 February 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1983/mar/09/british-rail-sleeper-service |title=British Rail (Sleeper Service) |work=[[Hansard|Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)]] |date=9 March 1983 |access-date=16 February 2017}}</ref> This refurbishment included the construction of the black glass building which partially surrounds platforms inside the northern train shed, as well as the glass screen which separates the concourse from platforms inside the southern train shed.<ref name="Sharples186" /> The alterations also coincided with the opening of the [[International Garden Festival]].<ref name="Hansard19840430" /> On 29 November 1984, the new development was officially opened by [[Anne, Princess Royal|Princess Anne]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/tessa-gallery/8472494793/ |title=Lime Street Opens |work=Flickr |access-date=18 February 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170219002416/https://www.flickr.com/photos/tessa-gallery/8472494793/|archivedate=19 February 2017}}</ref>{{Better source|reason=Self-published primary source|date=February 2017}}

On 20 October 2003, the new [[British Rail Class 390|Pendolino]] service operated by private rail operator Virgin Trains, which introduced a faster service between Liverpool and London, was ceremonially unveiled in the presence of the company's founder and chief executive officer [[Richard Branson]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/3209060.stm |title=Delays hit Pendolino unveiling|work=BBC News |date=20 October 2003 |access-date=18 February 2017}}</ref> Designed from the onset to be a [[tilting train]], it quickly replaced much of the previously-allocated locomotives and rolling stock used on the West Coast Main Line, namely the [[British Rail Class 86]], [[British Rail Class 87|87]] and [[British Rail Class 90|90]] [[electric locomotive]]s and [[British Rail Mark 2|Mark 2]] and [[British Rail Mark 3|Mark 3]] coaching stock.<ref name = "samath">{{cite web |url= http://www.samathieson.com/bigtrain.htm |publisher=Mathieson, SA |date=March 2002 |title= Full tilt: Virgin's 140mph Pendolino trains |access-date=13 May 2011}}</ref> Prior to this, the fleet had been first introduced into passenger services from [[Birmingham International railway station|Birmingham International]] to [[Manchester Piccadilly railway station|Manchester Piccadilly]] on 23 July 2002 to coincide with the opening of the [[2002 Commonwealth Games]] in Manchester.<ref>[http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/virgin-pendolino-starts.html "Virgin Pendolino starts."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170328105354/http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/virgin-pendolino-starts.html |date=28 March 2017 }} ''Rail Engineer'', 1 September 2002.</ref>

To help celebrate several high-profile occasions, such as Liverpool's role as [[European Capital of Culture]] during 2008, and the city's 800th anniversary in 2007, a £35&nbsp;million redevelopment grant was issued for the station and its immediate surroundings. The Lime Street Gateway Project saw the demolition of the aging retail parade and office block located in front of the station, and an improved frontage and public plaza constructed in its place.<ref name="RT1" /> Subsequently, Lime Street was voted ''Station of the Year 2010'' at the National Rail Awards.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/8399064.Liverpool_Lime_Street_voted_nation_s_best_station/ |title=Liverpool Lime Street voted nation's best station |publisher=Newsquest Media Group |website=wirralglobe.co.uk |date=17 September 2010 |access-date=19 September 2010}}</ref> The development was overseen by [[English Partnerships]] and was completed in October 2010.<ref name="RT1" />

====Electrification to Manchester and Wigan====
Completion of electrification of the former Liverpool and Manchester Railway's route, and the line to Wigan via St Helens Central, during May 2015 led to a recast of timetables. This included the introduction of a brand new [[TransPennine Express]] service to [[Newcastle railway station|Newcastle]] via Manchester Victoria, running alongside the existing service to {{rws|Scarborough}} via {{rws|Warrington Central}} and {{rws|Manchester Piccadilly}}. It was unclear whether suitable electric rolling stock would be available in time for the completion of the work,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/next-train-liverpool-might-not-5783449 |title=The next train for Liverpool... might not exist |last=Cox |first=Charlotte |newspaper=Manchester Evening News |date=26 August 2013 |access-date=10 December 2013}}</ref> but it was confirmed during April 2014 that electric trains would be available to operate the new electric services, and the first trains were introduced from March 2015, initially on the service to {{rws|Manchester Airport}}, with services to {{rws|Wigan North Western}}, {{rws|Manchester Victoria}} and {{rws|Warrington Bank Quay}} following over the course of the year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.northernrail.org/news/7449 |title=Northern Announces Electric Trains For North West |publisher=Northern Rail |date=2 April 2014 |access-date=6 July 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.liv.ac.uk/media/livacuk/environmentalsciences/docs/civicdesign/docs/limestreetreport2.pdf |title=Lime Street Station Stage Two Report |work=liv.ac.uk |access-date=29 October 2015}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

====2017–18 station remodelling====
[[File:Liverpool Lime Street station 20181222 161656R.jpg|thumb|Liverpool Lime Street Station at night in December 2018.]]
During 2017, work commenced upon a £340 million remodelling programme intended to improve Lime Street Station by modernising its signalling systems, install new platforms, and other to better conform with current demands.<ref name=LE1>{{cite news |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/merseyside-train-passengers-take-strain-11068979|title=Merseyside train passengers will take the strain during £340m railway improvement work |work=Liverpool Echo |first=Neil |last=Hodgson |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref> A major impetus for the work was the age of the station's signalling, the core of which dated from the 1940s and was increasingly difficult to acquire knowledgeable staff for its operation and maintenance; furthermore, as resignalling of the existing station layout offered only slightly less work than the implementation of an entirely fresh layout, only without the benefits of being able to do so, it was decided to take the rare occasion as a convenient chance to make various alterations and improvements at the same time.<ref name = "rail engsig16"/> Perhaps the most noticeable change made for the perspective of passengers was the creation of an additional pair of platforms, which were built in the large space available between Platforms 7 and 8 (now 6 and 9); all of the other platforms were also lengthened and widened as a part of this work.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.constructionenquirer.com/2016/03/21/340m-railway-upgrade-planned-for-liverpool/ |title=£340m railway upgrade planned for Liverpool |first=Aaron |last=Morby |work=Construction Enquirer |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref><ref name=limestreetninedayrevamp>{{cite news |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/lime-street-station-faces-nine-11069077 |title=Lime Street station faces nine day closure during revamp in 2017 |first=Neil |last=Hodgson |work=Liverpool Echo |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref>

[[File:Former platforms at Liverpool Lime Street railway station 02.jpg|thumb|right|The former "cab road", between former platforms 7 and 8 (now 6 and 9), which was replaced by two new platforms.]]

According to industry publication ''Rail Engineer'', the old layout of the station was relatively complex and posed some operational difficulties; many of the alterations sought to ease or eliminate some of these issues.<ref name = "rail engsig16"/> As the curving of Platform 6 (now 5) had been a source of long-term driver difficulty in maintaining signal sightings, the platform was reprofiled to be straighter, permanently ending the problem. The new layout provides five platforms on each side of the station; beyond being simpler, the change facilitates the departure speed being increased from 15 to 25&nbsp;mph and is also compatible with being maintained by modern mechanised equipment.<ref name = "rail engsig16"/> In conjunction with the layout changes, new Mk3D [[overhead line]] equipment was installed along the route between Lime Street station and Edge Hill. Control of the signalling was transferred over to the centralised [[Rail operating centre#ROC locations|Manchester Rail Operating Centre]].<ref name = "rail engsig16"/>

The remodelling of Lime Street had been deemed necessary in order to provide the capacity for additional services to Glasgow, which are set to start during 2019. Various new retail outlets, along with a [[supermarket]], were also established by work performed during the programme.<ref name=LE1 /> To accommodate the work, the station was mostly closed over a twenty-three day period, which started on 30 September 2017; during the latter stages of this blockade, limited services ran to/from Huyton and some destinations beyond this. The station closed from 2 June 2018 to 29 July 2018 to allow more of the remodelling to be undertaken.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Houghton |first1=Alistair |title=First look at Liverpool Lime Street station after stunning £140m refurbishment |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/business/first-look-liverpool-lime-street-14961828 |website=liverpoolecho |access-date=28 July 2018 |date=27 July 2018}}</ref>

==Station layout==

Liverpool Lime Street is divided into two sections: the mainline station, which offers national inter-city and regional overground services including local [[City Line (Merseytravel)|City Line]] routes, and services on the Wirral Line on the Merseyrail network, located underground between the mainline station and [[St George’s Hall, Liverpool|St George's Hall]].

==Mainline station==
{{more citations needed section |date=October 2018}}
[[File:North Western Hotel - geograph.org.uk - 1000304.jpg|thumb|right|The station is fronted by the [[North Western Hotel, Liverpool|Radisson RED Liverpool Hotel]], built in the Renaissance Revival style resembling a French Château.]]
The mainline station is covered by the vast iron and glass roofs dating from the 1870s. The north train shed is fronted by a 1871 French Château styled building occupied by the Radisson RED Liverpool Hotel. The hotel is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2022.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hotelnewsresource.com/article101830.html|title = Radisson RED Liverpool Hotel Opening in 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=New images show interior of £20m Radisson RED |url=https://lbndaily.co.uk/new-images-show-interior-20m-radisson-red/ |access-date=31 July 2021 |work=Liverpool Business News |date=29 July 2021}}</ref>

Platforms 1 to 5 are shorter than 6 to 10, the latter dealing mainly with long-distance services to London, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Norwich. Access to platforms 1–5 is through a ticket inspection barrier similar to airport [[passport control]], while former platform 7 was gated with the creation of new shops and facilities. Former Platforms 8 and 9 were still "open".

In 2009, new buildings were erected in the old "cab road" area between former platforms 7 and 8. Until the 2018 station remodelling, these housed customer lounges, the Virgin Trains customer service point, and an ATM, and there were retail units which had coffee shops amongst the units.

There were also four non-passenger tracks.<ref>Trackatlas 2009. {{ISBN|978 1902336 97 8}}</ref> Three of these were [[headshunt]]s, created in the northern trainshed to turn locomotives around: Track A, in between former platforms 1 and 2; track B, serving former platforms 3 and 4; and track D, for former platforms 5 and 6. There is also a platform with no passenger service between former platforms 6 and 7, known as platform E, or sometimes affectionately as platform 6¾.

===Proposed services===

====CrossCountry Trains Consultation 2018====

The Department for Transport's 2018 consultation on the future of the CrossCountry franchise, which was due for renewal in 2019 but was later cancelled in September 2018<ref>{{cite web |title=Cross Country rail franchise 2018: prospectus |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cross-country-rail-franchise-2018-prospectus |publisher=[[Department for Transport]] |access-date=29 October 2018 |date=20 September 2018}}</ref> but cited Liverpool as a potential new destination for CrossCountry train service. If adopted this may restore some of the services lost in 2003. The Consultation closed in August 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/714761/cross-country-passenger-rail-franchise-public-consultation.pdf|title=Cross Country Passenger Rail Franchise Public Consultation Connecting Britain's Cities|work=Department for Transport|access-date=2 July 2018}}</ref> Despite the cancellation of the competition, the consultation responses will be used to help develop options for the future of the franchise so Liverpool may be considered as a potential destination in the future.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cross-country-rail-franchise-2018-prospectus|title = Cross Country rail franchise 2018: Prospectus| date=20 September 2018 }}</ref>

====Long Term Rail Strategy Proposals====

In a long term rail strategy by Merseytravel, new direct services to Cardiff, Bristol, Leicester, Derby, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley have been proposed.<ref>https://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/Site%20Documents/LCR%20LTRS_Strategy%20Summary_01_08_14_Final%20Issue%20(6)_MTravel.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170102002000/http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/Site%20Documents/LCR%20LTRS_Strategy%20Summary_01_08_14_Final%20Issue%20(6)_MTravel.pdf |date=2 January 2017 }} p.17</ref>

====Virgin Trains Open Access Proposal====

In June 2019, Virgin Trains lodged an application for an open access service from {{rws|London Euston}} to Liverpool Lime Street calling at {{rws|Nuneaton}}, {{rws|Tamworth}}, {{rws|Lichfield Trent Valley}}, {{rws|Liverpool South Parkway}} and Liverpool Lime Street to rival the future [[West Coast Partnership]] franchise [[Avanti West Coast]] from December 2022.<ref>[https://www.itv.com/news/2019-06-10/virgin-trains-plans-rival-london-liverpool-services-after-franchise-loss/ Virgin Trains plans rival London-Liverpool services after franchise loss] 11 June 2019</ref>

====West Coast Partnership====

In August 2019, it was announced that [[Avanti West Coast]] would operate the [[West Coast Partnership]] franchise from December 2019. As part of the award, the new operator will look at providing up to two trains per hour between Liverpool Lime Street and {{rws|London Euston}} from December 2022, subject to approval by the [[Office of Rail and Road]].<ref>[http://maps.dft.gov.uk/west-coast/ West Coast Partnership franchise improvements map] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814071923/http://maps.dft.gov.uk/west-coast/ |date=14 August 2019 }} Department for Transport; 14 August 2019.</ref>

====Future Northern and TransPennine Franchises====

In November 2018, it was revealed by Transport for the North several options for the future Northern and TransPennine franchise. Some options for Liverpool include extension of Liverpool to Crewe services towards Stoke-on-Trent and Alsager, increasing Liverpool to Blackpool North services and a new Liverpool to Leicester service via Crewe, Stoke-on-Trent, Uttoxeter and Derby. The Leicester service could be operated by either TransPennine Express or the future East Midlands Franchise.<ref>Modern Railways December 2018 p.13</ref>

====TransPennine Franchise Agreement====
As part of the TransPennine Express (TPE) franchise agreement (awarded to [[TransPennine Express|FirstGroup]] which started services in April 2016), there will be three new direct services per day to Glasgow Central via Preston along the West Coast main line.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://maps.dft.gov.uk/transpennine-express/index.html#liverpool|title=TransPennine Franchise Improvements: Liverpool|work=Department for Transport|access-date=3 March 2016|archive-date=29 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160329174459/http://maps.dft.gov.uk/transpennine-express/index.html#liverpool|url-status=dead}}</ref>  The current hourly TPE Newcastle route was extended via {{rws|Morpeth}} to [[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Edinburgh Waverley]] in December 2019.

In 2005 [[Renaissance Trains]] proposed a [[Glasgow Trains|twice-daily service]] from Lime Street to [[Glasgow Central railway station|Glasgow Central]], with weekend trains running instead from [[Blackpool North railway station|Blackpool]] to Glasgow.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070930222400/http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/pdf/rawm_Renaissance-glas_181006.PDF Briefing Concerning Glasgow Trains Proposal] Renaissance Trains 18 October 2006</ref><ref>"Renaissance for Glasgow-Nottingham" ''[[Rail (magazine)|Rail]]'' issue 509 16 March 2005 page 12</ref> The proposal did not get enough investment backing, but was revived in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.renaissancetrains.com/about-renaissance-trains.html |title=About Renaissance Trains |access-date=31 August 2016 |archive-date=6 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106015320/http://www.renaissancetrains.com/about-renaissance-trains.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

====Chester, Wales and Shrewsbury via the Halton Curve====
The completion of the upgrade of the [[Halton Curve]] in 2018 provides a second rail route between Liverpool and Chester, and permits the introduction of new direct services from Liverpool to Wrexham, Llandudno and other parts of [[North Wales]].<ref name="NewWelshFranchise" /> 
As part of the new Wales & Borders franchise services to Chester were  introduced in May 2019 with future services to Llandudno and Shrewsbury every hour and services to Cardiff every two hours planned.<ref name="NewWelshFranchise">{{cite web |title=What's Happening in the Borders {{!}} Transport for Wales |url=https://tfw.wales/about-us/whats-happening/wales-borders |website=tfw.wales |access-date=2 July 2018 |language=en}}</ref>

====London Euston====
It was also proposed that by 2016 [[London Midland]] would also operate an hourly service to London Euston (as an extension of its existing Trent Valley semi-fast service), however, this was rejected by the Office of Rail Regulation. {{update after|2016|8}}. From May 2019 to December 2019, its successor [[London Northwestern Railway]] operated a London to Liverpool service via Birmingham New Street.<ref name=LNWR2019Timetable>{{cite web|url=https://www.londonnorthwesternrailway.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/20190424/QjdvRNDL7nlbM7CzsT8LIp11bByjvunWduUpz6pAUYo/ln03_web.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190527131841/https://www.londonnorthwesternrailway.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/20190424/QjdvRNDL7nlbM7CzsT8LIp11bByjvunWduUpz6pAUYo/ln03_web.pdf|archive-date=27 May 2019|access-date=27 May 2019|title=Train times {{!}} Liverpool to Birmingham/London {{!}} 19 May to 14 December 2019|website=London Northwestern Railway}}</ref>

====Northern Franchise Agreement====
As part of the Northern franchise agreement (awarded to [[Northern (train operating company)|Arriva]], which started in April 2016), from December 2019 there will be a new "Northern Connect" service to Leeds via Manchester Victoria and Bradford Interchange (replacing the current all-stations local service to Victoria).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://maps.dft.gov.uk/northern/index.html|title=Northern Franchise Improvements|work=Department for Transport|access-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724064421/http://maps.dft.gov.uk/northern/index.html|archive-date=24 July 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> This is the first time there is a direct service through to Rochdale, Halifax and Bradford Interchange since the timetable change on 10 December 2006 when Northern terminated all services at Manchester Victoria.

==Underground station==
[[File:Merseyrail Class 507, 507003, Liverpool Lime Street underground station (geograph 4500645).jpg|thumb|right|The refurbished Wirral Line platform, at Lime Street underground station in 2015, with a Merseyrail [[British Rail Class 507|Class 507]] service]]
{{see also|List of underground stations of the Merseyrail network}}
The underground station consists of a single platform (sometimes referred to as Platform L<ref>{{cite book |last=Kelman |first=Leanne |editor-last=Brailsford |editor-first=Martyn |title=Railway Track Diagrams 4: Midlands & North West |edition=4th |date=January 2019 |orig-year=1990 |publisher=Trackmaps |location=Frome |isbn=978-1-9996271-1-9 |at=map 38A }}</ref>),  alongside the 1970s ''Liverpool Loop tunnel'' and a ticket hall above. The station, opened in 1977, is connected to the mainline station by means of a pedestrian subway and escalators, accessed via a long passageway which crosses beneath Lime Street itself, and by a lift from the main concourse.

===2013 refurbishment===
[[Network Rail]] announced in early 2013 that Lime Street was to be the third station to be refurbished as part of the £40&nbsp;million investment which would see all Merseyrail underground stations excluding [[Conway Park railway station|Conway Park]] refurbished. This included the refurbishment of the platform and the booking hall. The station refurbishment work took place between April and August 2013.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-communities/lydiate-maghull/lydiate-maghull-news/2012/09/03/liverpool-james-street-station-partially-closed-as-part-of-40m-merseyrail-upgrade-100252-31751592/|first=John|last=Siddle|title=Liverpool Lime Street closed as part of £40m Merseyrail upgrade|date=3 September 2012|publisher=Trinity Mirror Merseyside|newspaper=Liverpool Echo|access-date=10 February 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/refurbishment-work-liverpool-lime-street-5729543|title=End of line for loop disruption|first=Alan|last=Weston|work=Liverpool Echo|date=14 August 2013|access-date=20 September 2016}}</ref>

===Subway refurbishment===
The subway linking the underground station to the mainline station was refurbished in June 2014. The subway was fitted out with new tiles, lighting, flooring and automatic doors to some of the entrances.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/about-us/media-centre/news/Pages/Revamp-of-subway-linking-Lime-Street-stations-set-to-begin.aspx|title=Revamp of subway linking Lime Street stations set to begin|work=Merseytravel|date=11 April 2014|access-date=29 October 2015|archive-date=20 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140420131228/http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/about-us/media-centre/news/Pages/Revamp-of-subway-linking-Lime-Street-stations-set-to-begin.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Recent history===
The underground station had [[Wi-Fi]] installed in January 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/merseyrail-introduces-free-wifi-five-10312873|title=Merseyrail introduces free wifi at five underground stations|work=Liverpool Echo|first=Lorna|last=Hughes|date=22 October 2015|access-date=3 March 2016}}</ref>

In March 2016, it was announced that the Wirral Line loop would be having its track renewed. The underground station was closed between 3 January 2017 and 18 June 2017 whilst the works took place.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.merseyrail.org/seasonal/wirral-track-renewal.aspx |title=Wirral Track Renewal |access-date=22 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160323002137/http://www.merseyrail.org/seasonal/wirral-track-renewal.aspx |archive-date=23 March 2016 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
