Biggest town/city in UK with no station?

They are building it as we speak!

The Leigh-Salford-Manchester bus priority scheme is due to be running by 2015 according to Transport for Greater Manchester. It will reduce travel time Leigh-Manchester from 60 minutes in the rush hour to 45 mins. When I travelled to school 1965-69 on the train, Leigh to Manchester Exchange took 32 mins. Such is progress?

Technically these towns are all part of a larger conurbation; Dudley is part of Birmingham, Newcastle under Lyme part of Stoke and Gosport part of Portsmouth.

Newcastle under Lyme is not part of Stoke on Trent. Newcastle, Kidsgrove plus Stoke on Trent make up the The Potteries Urban Area which in turn (with Staffordshire Moorlands) make up the area of North Staffordshire. Newcastle is a borough and coming under control of Staffordshire County Council for the likes of education and social health matter.

There is also no conurbation called "Birmingham", it is the West Midlands.
