Looks a great station. I've never used it. The nearest I've come is Warrington Central into and out of Manchester. Bristol Temple Meads has been waiting years for a 'mere' £100 million upgrade but Network Rail keeps stalling.
The iconic Northwesten Hotel next to Lime Street Station is to be turned back into a hotel once again. It has been student halls for John Moores University since 1996, but now the building is to become a hotel once again as early as 2019. The hotel market in Liverpool has grown significantly in recent years and with Lime Street Station next door catering for more than 20 million passengers plus it is a very central location. The building was built originally by the Northwestern Railway Company and designed by Liverpool at architect Sir Alfred Waterhouse who also designed The Natural History Museum and Manchester Town Hall.

I can't believe this was use for student accommodation. It will be good to see it being used for something a little more appropriate for the location.
Does anybody know if there is likely to be any upgrade to the passenger facilitates more shops or places to eat?
Grr!! It's not a North-South Divide. Much of South-West England is amongst the poorest areas in the UK. Even in the prosperous Bristol area there is no prospect of rail electrification into the city with its promised (and prepared) electrification plans being axed by Grayling and Hammond the chancellor. Bristol will remain the largest city in Britain with no rail electrification, and the entire country to the south-west of it has never even been promised electrification. We have to endure diesel traction even on our main lines and yet this government is intent on banning new diesel cars within the next 20 years.
The North is getting all sorts of 'goodies' even though that might pale into significance compared with the London and South-East's gravy train. Nevertheless, we in the South-West would be ecstatic to receive only a tiny fraction of what the North has been offered.
Sorry for the rant but our part of the world is always left out when the North v South debate is in the news.
Thanks Carl, will be very impressive when its finished, hopefully complimenting the 3 Graces..Crossed back to Liverpool last January, on the ferry,late on when the waterfront was lit up...Very impressive
