Hold on a minute, Piccadilly station is also a Manchester Metrolink station, so surely calling this a 'railway station' in the title is not correct. G-Man * 21:51, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Its been a railway station for over a hundred years so the title is correct.
no it is a railyway station which also allows access to the metro
[edit] Footfall
It is the fifth busiest major station in the United Kingdom outside London for footfall.
Footfall?? It's not exactly a common term, so it should be explained (or avoided). --Jotel 08:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Additionally, the stats in the given reference for footfall/visitor numbers are as follows:
-
Name of station Visitor numbers (per annum) London station? Liverpool Street 141,100,000 Yes Victoria 115,600,000 Yes Waterloo 104,100,000 Yes London Bridge 56,100,000 Yes Euston 52,000,000 Yes Paddington 46,666,000 Yes Charing Cross 45,900,000 Yes King's Cross* 40,658,000 Yes Birmingham New Street 35,100,000 No Glasgow Central 34,900,000 No Leeds 29,116,000 No Cannon Street 27,740,000 Yes Manchester Piccadilly 20,600,000 No Fenchurch Street 17,700,000 Yes Liverpool Lime Street 17,251,000 No Edinburgh Waverley 15,200,000 No Gatwick* 11,370,000 No
- By my count, that puts Manchester as the fourth busiest major station in the United Kingdom outside London for footfall...? Casper Gutman (talk • contributions) 10:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image
I think this image is probably a more suitable lead image. Any objections to me changing it? --Jza84 | Talk 01:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
