Trivia: Stations or lines with the most TOCs passing through.

[317663]

As far as ive seen, heaton chapel has Virgin, CC, Northern, TPE, EMT, and ATR. 6 toc that pass through or stop.
But clapham junction is the busiest in the uk but only has 3 tocs stopping.
Are there any stations with 6 or more train companies using/passing station? Ignore big ones like Birmingham or Manchester.

Doncaster with Northern, East Coast, TPE, Grand Central, Hull Trains, EMT and Cross Country must come high on the list. Feel free to add to the list if I've missed any.

Think we've had this before. Doncaster level with Crewe - Virgin, Northern, ATW, Cross-Country, LM, EMT and Scotrail sleepers.

Although if we're counting 'passing through', and if we count regular diversions, then does Doncaster win out on the basis of Scotrail Sleeper diversions via the ECML?!

Ironic that we're to ignore "big stations like Manchester" when it has less TOCs than Crewe.

Crewe of course has gone from 6 to 7 with the split of Virgin into Virgin and Arriva XCountry. However Doncaster will go from 7 to 6 with the possible amalgamation of Northern and TPE.

CrossCountry and Virgin Trains were always separate - they just happened to be branded identically.

 

[IanXC]

And Northern and TPE are not going to be amalgamated.

They were separate franchises but as far as the customer was concerned they were the same TOC.

I swear virgin had
"virgin cross country"... so it must be virgin, or that will be against the law ?

I'm pretty sure when waiting at Basingstoke they were announced as Virgin Cross Country until Aviva took over (when it changed to Cross Country)

 

[Muzer]

Pretty sure they were just announced as Virgin Voyager myself. But they WERE still separate TOCs, technically.

Aviva?

Someone told me this morning that they were switching their home insurance to Arriva...
