London’s Victoria, Liverpool Street and Waterloo station were the most searched –  each receiving 450,000 average searches.

Samantha White, of West Somerset Railway, said:  “It is amazing to see that there are so many searches for train stations in the United Kingdom, Cardiff Central being the most searched station in Northern Ireland.

“I feel that six million average searches across the United Kingdom in the last year goes to show that there is a desire in the public to use train services as a main form of public transport. 

“Whether that be commuting to work or travelling to beautiful areas of the country on a holiday, the demand for train travel remains high.”
