If I used the train to get to work, my train would just call the once before getting to work.

How often does your train stop before you get off for your commute/most frequent journey?

Most frequent journey to Waterloo features between 3 & 6 stops, 1 on Sundays with the Andover express

On the very rare occasion I do take the train to work, it calls at three stations before I get off.

Not so much a regular commute, but when I make trips home from university it usually entails one stop (though it can be none or two stops depending on the train).

Not a regular commute, but when I do go by train to work (as I will on Friday) it'll be just two stops (might be three on the way back).

When I was a regular commuter in Glasgow; eight stops or occasionally just three if I got an express.

This is making my commute look even worse:
- A minimum of seven including the stop where I get off (perhaps 5 if by some miracle I get one of a tiny number of very fast services in rush hour that are overcrowded)
- A maximum of fifteen (which is standard for the late night crawl up when there are no 'fast' trains)

That excludes buses/underground.

The one I will be starting on Monday should be one intermediate stop or 2 if I get the only XC Via the Weston Loop.

Depending on what train I get, anywhere between zero and fifteen*

Normally one, two or four.

*Punishment for staying slightly too long in the pub after work

Depends, usually 1 intermediate stop however if I miss that train the next one has 8 intermediate stops. The one after that is advertised to have no intermediate stops but that is a load of BS as it gets stuck behind the all shacks in front. Usually stops around 3 times as a result

Having taken the Borderlands line to Wrexham yesterday, it went up to 11. Still, it's always interesting going on a new line.

Between zero and four, dependant on demand and loadings.

Of course, this is assuming that we're including tramways? :D

You can include as many NR/Tube/Tram stations and bus stops if you so wish haha.
