I wonder if, as a community, we have covered every station in our threads (not including the quiz section!). If you do feel that there is somewhere we rarely talk about, if ever, such as Kempston Hardwick where I spent the night at last weekend for example, give it a mention.

Have we ever mentioned West Byfleet?
Many times.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Even Roughton Road has been mentioned
I doubt there will be any that have not been mentioned.

Hmm.Looks like all stations in Devon are regulars on here, even Exton and Polsloe Bridge! I blame the grockles, personally
Both Montrose and Arbroath were mentioned in the last week!

Sandplace, Causeland, St. Keyne Wishing Well Halt must have been mentioned in "Stations with lowest passenger numbers" threads.
One station that I have never seen mentioned is Moreton (Merseyside). I've seen Moreton mentioned but only as an adjunct to the proposed station at Town Meadow (Moreton) but never Moreton station in its own right.
My interest in Moreton is that my Great grandmother hailed from near the station.

Portlethen was mentioned in the same thread, can't say I remember Laurencekirk popping up recently.

Actually, it was mentioned this week as well.

It has been mentioned at least 38 times as Moreton Merseyside, with more mentions, potentially up to 124 times, although some of those will be mentioning a different Morton and Merseyside in another context.
Portlethen was only mentioned 242 times, which I agree is "hardly ever" given the size of the forum and that we have almost 2 million posts. It only gets mentioned roughly every 8200 posts.
Although those include the quiz forum, which the OP did say we could exclude. Portlethen appears 41 times via the forum search. I can beat that with 27 mentions for Roose (edit - and I reckon that I'm responsible for a good half dozen of those
). Of course, this thread is nicely self-defeating for this!I guess what we want are the second or third stations of medium sized towns, on quiet lines, without any notable service pattern or other feature.
Edit-
Ah: realized that the forum search is not useful for multiword stations!

Aha! King's Nympton has, outside of the quiz forum, had very little said of it! Victoly!

How about Pembroke (but not Pembroke Dock)?

I've definitely mentioned Billingham in a few posts, but not since the timetable change in May. Doesn't connect well enough with the TPE trains in a morning any more so I just get a taxi from Thornaby now.
