WATERLOO IS the country’s busiest main line station and is set to get even busier. ‘The 90 million passengers handled at Waterloo in 2014-15 represent a 70% increase on the numbers seen in 1998; a further 40% rise is expected by 2043’ says Paula Haustead, Network Rail’s Senior Sponsor for the Waterloo and South West upgrade. More recent figures show that in 2015-16 these numbers reached nearly 100 million.
