List Of Least Used Train Stations Of Great Britain
This article will show a list of the top five least used stations of Great Britain in the year stated. A least used station is a station that received the fewest entries/exits (described as a passenger) as defined by Office of Rail and Road (ORR) in a given timeframe. These statistics are released by the ORR every November, December or January. Overview This table shows the top least used stations of every period covered in this page. Publicity The publicity around these stations is fuelled by the nature of how unusual they are. Railway enthusiasts are known to visit them for either being able to say they have been there, or in order to boost the station's statistics up to make it more used. Geoff Marshall, a YouTuber known for his railway-related content, has a series dedicated to visiting these stations. His project with his then-partner Vicki Pipe, All the Stations, was also a primary reason for increasing the number of passengers at Shippea Hill between the 2015/16 ...
