I was at Southampton Central admiring the assorted stock passing through, and it idly occured to me that the station has four platforms and is served by four TOCs (SWR, GTR/Southern, XC & GWR).

I’d take a punt on Waterloo as having the lowest TOC to platform ratio, with only one operator for its 24 platforms - where has the highest ratio out there I wonder?! (Thinking full platforms, not A/B etc, and TOCs who routinely call!)

Claverdon and Bearley are single platform stations with 2 operators (WMR and Chiltern) - are there any with 3?

Unless you now count it as part of Scotrail, any single platform station that any of the Caledonian Sleeoers stop at. 2 to 1. Any single platform stations on the Highland main Line served by the Chieftain? 3 to 1

Dunbar for a while had I think the highest ratio at four operators and one platform, but the ratio is now 2 (XC, TPE, SR and LNER on two platforms)

Durham, Morpeth, Alnmouth and Berwick all have the same ratio of two. I think Leuchars, Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing all do as well for the time being.

Newtonmore has a ratio of three, yet two of the operators are one train in each direction per day.

Morpeth beats the others here as it also has Lumo, so two platforms, five TOCS (Northern, LNER, Lumo, TPE, XC).

Until recently "Dore and Totley" was a single platform station, served by Northern, TPE and EMR, they recently built a second platform there though.
