Total number

[Tom]

Can anyone provide me a definitive number for the number of stations currently on the network?

Thanks

Tom

I've got a station usage survey from 2005 (so it may well be 2004 figures) on the computer and it has 2496 stations listed. That's porbably close, but may not be right.

Thing about those statin usage surveys, they show Watford West and that closed years ago...

I once bought a ticket from Bournemouth to Watford West (yes, you can still buy tickets to there!) for the hell of it so am probably included in those statistics

No you can't, only Watford North. Watford Junction and Watford High Street. Also Watford on the Met.

"Network Rail owns 2500 other railways stations, but these are actually managed by the various train operating companies." from networkrail.co.uk

Just trying to find something I had a while ago which gave the details on the usage of IIRC all stations.

Can't find it at all though, does anyone remember that? It had a massive list (in an excel doc) of stations and how many passengers they'd have and stuff like that...

The LENNON data you mean - Lennon might eb a helpful google term.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_railway_stations has a list over 26 pages...

Thankyou!!

According to the '05-'06 usage document, there are 2506 stations.

But this changes each year - Coleshill Parkway, East Mids Parkway, etc.

Loader - when was the last time you tried?

I tried it certainly before the last fares revision and I could buy a ticket there.

That's the list I had, but it was a bit out of date. Golf St to Barry Links anyone?

 

[Tom]

Rather Gainsborough Central ...

Prestwick Airport, Heathrow Central/4/5 (yes 5 is a infrastructure since before 12/5/07), Warwick Parkway are not owned by Network Rail so there goes 5, theres a few more?

Etruria's gone Coleshill Parkways up.

There's Staff Platforms around the Network.

What about Lymingston Commando (or a similar name). It can only be used by passengers accessing the army base, so is it network rail or the army's?

Wasn't Fishguard Harbour another one?

 

[Tom]

Fishguard Harbour permits smoking on the station too...

 

[Techniquest]

Ain't that due to the security issues beyond the ferry barriers and the lack of much open space on the platform anyway?

It's Lympstone Commando.

It's Lympstone Commando.

Thanks. My memory isn't that good.

I think IBM is another non NR one.
