I'm looking for stations with no through platforms. All platforms must have buffer stops. Also, the majority of trains at that station only call there as part of a longer journey so, by default would have to reverse.

Blackpool North wouldn't count. Although it's a terminus station there are no through trains (trains from A to C that call at Blackpool North enroute).

Bradford Interchange would qualify as it's a terminus and just trains call there on their way from Leeds to Manchester or York to Blackpool)

Glossop (or Hadfield? I can't remember which way round trains tend to go) and, counting tram stops, MediaCityUK? Thurso.

Bere Alston, Coombe Junction Halt (amongst the small number of trains there at all).

Killarney. (Or it was when I was last there) Train arrives on the stops, then propells out to the junction signal, then forward again on the avoider to Tralee.

Eastbourne isn’t the majority. It’s 1tph in the favour of terminating plus peak extras and those starting & terminating at the start and end of service.

There are plenty of through services though.

Pedantic I know, but, according to the OP's definition, I'm not sure Coombe Junction Halt does count, unless they've put up a buffer stop on the old freight line to Moorswater since I was last there.

and Kilkenny (if we're including Ireland). I was going to add Bodmin General but the timetable shows two separate services operating (although it's usually the same train).
