Just interested to see which stations come out top in Number of TOCs / Platforms.

Dunbar and Dore & Totley both have a score of 3 I think - do any other stations equal or exceed this?

Waterloo has the lowest score I assume, not sure how many platforms it has, but a lot given the single operator.

Intersted so see what people come up with :)

I count 6 TOCs that all call at Motherwell platform 2 at some point in the day:- ScotRail, VTWC, VTEC, Caledonian Sleeper, TransPennine Express and CrossCountry.

24 platforms. I'm sure that will be by far the extreme in the opposite sense.

But there are 4 platforms at Motherwell, so 1.5 operators per platform.

Inverkeithing, Kirkcaldy, Leuchars, Arbroath, Montrose, Stonehaven all score 2. 4 operators, 2 platforms.

Newtonmore is also 3 operators on 1 platform (Scotrail, East Coast and Caledonian Sleeper), although East Coast call here just once per week, on Sunday morning only.

Still counts, that gives us 3 with a score of 3, and Waterloo with score of 0.042, when all platforms are actually in operation that is!

Having a quick glance over the network map I don't think you will be able to beat Dore & Newtonmore with 3 operators for a single platform

Dunbar might have 4 soon if TPE begin stopping there. It might also gain a second platform though.
