TRIVIA: Stations with most physical entrances

[Gathursty]

Spurred on by noticing that Blackrod has an extra entrance on the northbound platform heading directly to the village bringing Blackrod upto 3 entrances.

I assume the answer will be a city centre terminal but I'm keen to hear other unusual stations such as Blackrod.

Also, Pemberton has an extra entrance which is a partially overgrown footpath leading to the wide open space heading towards Primrose Farm restaurant.

Don't think it's worth doing a least version of the thread as I suspect Smallbrook Junction would win or we may end up going down a philosophical rabbit hole.

Shipley must be in with a shout. Depending on how you count it, Shipley has between 4 and 8 entrances.

I'd settle for 4, as the rest all use the same Station Approach underbridge.
I suppose it depends where you locate the "entrance"

London Victoria has at least nine, (side of pl 2, near barrier line to pl 2, big arch opposite pl 6, to the tube down the stairs - may count 2 if Sussex steps and Kent steps are different, but they both head to Tube, side of Sussex steps to taxi area, 2 either side of ticket office to taxi area and bus station, and one onto Buckingham Palace Road from pl 15x19 area.) There’s also a way out via what was the Grosvenor Hotel and the escalator up to Victoria Place shopping. So definite 9 plus one edge case.

York has four, five or six, depending how you count them.

6 for Glasgow Central I reckon. Gordon Street, Hope Street opp Waterloo St, Union Street (high level), Argyle Street north & south sides (low level) and Hope Street corner of Argyle Street (low level). There’s at least three extra entrances if you count the foyer of the Grand Central, the NCP car park in Oswald Street and a shop on the Argyle Street north side that I think was a Ladbrokes and is now a vaping or phone shop. Used to be 2x vehicle entrance/exits as well but they’re now closed

Nottingham has quite a few:

1. Main concourse facing Carrington Street (several doors, plus one each facing Station Street and Queens Road)
2. Gate onto footbridge further down Station Street
3. Stairs down to footbridge from the tram bridge
4. Entrance from the other side of the tram bridge winding round to the concourse
5. Entrance from car park under tram bridge entrance
6. Escalator up from further down Queens Road to concourse.
7. Entrance to platform 7 from Queens Road

York has four, five or six, depending how you count them.

I'd define York as having four; the 'NRM' (western) entrance, the 'north' entrance (though you could count entering via car park entrance between the Royal York Hotel & York Tap as separate to the bridge over the Ouse, but in practice one barrier line could cover all of this) , main entrance, and 'south' entrance near platform 1 (again you could split this into more than one, but again one barrier line could cover it)

Denby Dale only has two entrances, but that's still two entrances per platform.

There’s also a way out via what was the Grosvenor Hotel and the escalator up to Victoria Place shopping. So definite 9 plus one edge case.

Also entrances going via Boots, via the Beer House (though often closed) and via M&S (though not if you consider the "inside" door of M&S to be outside the entrance. Then there's escalators direct to the GatEx platforms from the shopping centre above.

As you can go between the underground and mainline stations without going outside, you either need to count that as an entrance or else count all the other entrance to the underground (4? The one you face as soon as you leave the mainline station, the one facing the other way nearby, the one at Bressenden Place and the district and circle line entrance opposite the new Nova Building... This last one there's a weak argument for claiming that as you can get from there to the shopping arcade without leaving cover, the other entrance to the arcade counts)

Waterloo has six street level exits, the bridge to Waterloo East, and, if I've counted right, six exits to the underground, making a total of 13.
