A travel platform has revealed the results of a study to find out just which major UK stations are the most passenger-friendly.
The statistics, released by travel platform Omio, were based on facilities and nearby businesses as well as quality-of-life extras such as WiFi. It looked specifically at the 30 most booked train destinations to draw its results.
According to Omio, the highest-ranking train station in the UK is Edinburgh Waverley. They put this result down to factors such as 81 percent of trains arriving on time, a large number of businesses nearby, including 395 shops, being in the city centre, and having a wide range of amenities.
The train station that has the best punctuality in the UK is Stansted Airport, with 90 percent of trains arriving on time.
Second to Edinburgh Waverly is Glasgow Central, which scores highly across the board. Like Waverley, Glasgow Central has an impressive range of shops, amenities, and a central location to boot; 4 out of 5 trains at Glasgow Central arrive on time. In comparison, the station that ranks at the bottom of the study is Coventry, where fewer than half of trains arrive on time.
