Following on from the thread on the busiest light rail section, which stops or stations are served by the most tram, light rail (metro, Stadtbahn...) lines?

This may end up being slightly subjective on what should be excluded as heavy rail as well as what counts as one station. King's Cross St. Pancras (6 lines) is unambiguously one metro station; my first example, KA-Durlacher Tor, is one station on maps but is formed of stops a two-minute walk apart. Limited service lines count as long as they're regular and not just diversions for engineering works.

  • Durlacher Tor / KIT-Campus Süd in Karlsruhe has 9 lines. Kronenplatz, Marktplatz, and Tullastraße / Alter Schlachthof are served by 8, and Ettlinger Tor / Staatstheater, Europaplatz, and Mühlburger Tor by 7.
  • Cornbrook, Deansgate-Castlefield, and St. Peter's Square in Manchester are also served by 7 tram lines.
  • Mannheim Paradeplatz and (I think) Hbf are normally served by 7 tram lines.
  • Zürich HB's Bahnhofstraße and Bahnhofsplatz stops have a combined 11 lines; Central, one stop up the line, has 10.
  • I. P. Pavlova in Prague has 9 tram lines (going off the printed map) and a metro line.
  • Melbourne Town Hall has 12 tram lines.

When the full service is operating Deansgate Castlefield and Cornbrook are served by 8 lines, but from March until (at least) autumn 2026 there is a reduced service.
