London Paddington has been named the UK’s best train station, according to a new study.
The research, which was completed by Novotel, looked at the 100 busiest train stations in the UK, analysing 13 different criteria split across 3 key areas: facilities, food and shopping, and punctuality. This data was then used to give each station a score out of 100, creating a definitive ranking of the UK’s best train stations – https://novotel.accorhotels.com/gb/editorial/article/uks-best-train-stations-v2352.shtml
