TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Just north of the station, the former Liverpool Exchange railway station – once the grand terminus for trains to and from the North – has been transformed into an office and coworking space – definitely worth a look if you have time. For a quick bite, Fabiano on nearby Dale Street does exceptional Italian sandwiches – one of Liverpool's best-kept lunch secrets. Or head to the Eberle Pub or Dishoom for great food and drink, both excellent options close by. If you have a little longer, the Western Approaches Museum on Rumford Street is one of Liverpool's most remarkable hidden gems – the actual underground bunker from which the Battle of the Atlantic was commanded, preserved almost exactly as it was in 1945."
