Network Rail will scrap toilet charges at all of its stations from 1 April, the BBC has found.
It comes as Network Rail revealed the amount it received from charging people to use its station toilets fell by 33% in the past year.
Latest stats show nine Network Rail-run stations across the UK made a combined £3.1m in 2017-18 - down from £4.8m.
It was revealed last year Network Rail had made £41m since 2007 from people using its toilet facilities.
The announcement comes on the day toilet facilities at Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly and Leeds became free to use.
It follows similar moves at Birmingham New Street, London Bridge, Victoria and Charing Cross stations where the charges - as high as 50p - have been ditched
