With reference to the above list:
EMR no longer serves York
In Nottinghamshire, Retford also has three: LNER, Northern and Hull Trains

Also, the three GTR brands of GatEx, Thameslink and Southern need combining into one.

What about freight...
I think people like to pretend they don't existActually 6 - add Cross Country
I suggest three criteria:
1. Where there has been a new franchising process and a change of operator (including operators of last resort being appointed)
2. Where a franchise/TOC has been sold and there has been a change of identity
3. Open access operators.

Few minor points of accuracy:
You've Rugby as being in Northamptonshire when it is in Warwickshire, also I believe Birmingham International has 5 operators serving it as well so it would share joint-most in the West Midlands with New Street and Wolverhampton.
Bridge of Orchy (2) is in Argyllshire/Argyll and Bute so beats all the Oban branch stations.
Rugby isn't in Northamptonshire, and under the current timetable, Northampton isn't served by Avanti West Coast, so technically the station in Northants with the most operators calling is also the least used, Kings Sutton (Chiltern Railways and Great Western Railway, along with XC passing through fast)

It's got all complicated now lol. Let's just include freight and whoever has the most freight operators at Crewe or Doncaster wins. I think the 2 stations came joint highest based on passenger services?

FOCs have crew changes at both stations, but are they technically serving the station?
As it happens I cant think of a FOC that serves one station 'area' (including the surrounding yards) but not the other.

Delete 1: Great Northern and Thameslink are the same TOC (GTR). Likewise LNR and West Mids are the same company.Actually 6 - add Cross Country
Lime Street would also be competing technically, except no freight passes through it, probably because it's a terminus.
