Suzanne Grant, chief commercial officer and deputy managing director at Merseyrail, said: “Travelling by train is about more than getting from A to B. Having places like Gourmet Coffee Bar & Kitchen at our stations adds extra value to the journey, giving customers time to pause, refuel and enjoy their travel experience.

“It’s another way we’re making rail a convenient, comfortable and appealing choice for people moving around the region.”
