Should we not be playing Mornington Crescent? ☺

Can't make the search work off my tablet tonight so apologies if it has been mentioned.

Which large station (used by more than 1,000,000 passengers per year) is mentioned the least one here?

Just short of 1 Million is Livingston North which I rarely see mentioned as well as the two Bradford Stations and Shipley I have only seen mentioned a couple of times.

 

[Mugby]

How about Broomfleet.

Unlikely to be mentioned ever again!

 

[adrock1976]

Would Beaulieu Road or Hinton Admiral have a good shout?

In peace

Someone search for Malton and Seamer for me

Dalmally, anyone?

Six Mile Bottom - perhaps it's my limited search skills, but only one two previous mentions?

I'll be honest, I forgot that one existed.

I like this thread idea - long may it continue.

Copplestone - 18 mentions (including this post).
Chapelton - 19 mentions.
Lapford - 19 mentions.

Furness Vale?

Belfast Great Victoria street and other stations in Northern Ireland do not seem to get mentioned despite it being RailforumsUK.
Why is this? It's not because the network is unconnected as Isle of Wright and some cut of heritage lines are mentioned. And it's the only government owned railway other than the TfL ones, Scotrail franchise and Eurostar.

Northern Ireland railways are completely different from Great Britain ones, for a start the gauge but also the ticketing, ownership, infrastructure, management and regulation is completely different from Great Britain. Its essentially a railway network from another country.

Indeed, one of the most bizarre rules on this Forum is that Northern Irish railway matters officially belong in the UK Discussion forum, not the International one alongside Irish matters. It's infrequently mentioned on the basis that very, very little ever happens over there that is worthy of debate.

In what respect does the ScotRail franchise count as a government owned railway?

The franchise is decided by the Scottish government. It was a mistake I made.

In that case, the Glasgow Subway in a different guage, and all those other things. Does that mean I couldn't have added Partick?

Gilfach fargoed?
Believe least used station on the valleys.

Manor Road
Manea
Manorbier

 

[Merseysider]

I don't believe I've ever seen Sugar Loaf mentioned.

When I had reason to foray deep into the Rhondda Valley, I'd sometimes get a lift from Cardiff and was intrigued by this strange station. On one side of it is a cliff, on the other is an A road with no pedestrian access which separates it from the town. There is emergency access at street level, the station is accessed through a subway.

It took a while to suss that out the first time I needed to use the station when I stayed in a nearby hotel visiting my daughter at the Uni in Pontypridd.

Manorbier

Ahem...

Ahem...

Poor eyesight could be a reason why we don't notice the cliff edges too well.

Should let me off on the poetic licence exemption regarding trios though.

This is the best game of Pointless ever!

My 3 guesses are Greenfaulds, Longport and Overpool

I agree, Overpool isn't mentioned much, but I am certain I have mentioned it before, but I don't think anybody else has! I will have a look later and see.

Looking at google, it has been mentioned many times, not Quizzes and Games, about 30.

Thornford

All on the Heart of Wessex Line and dont see them mentioned much.

5 mentions excluding games and your post

 

[Mutant Lemming]

Thorpe Culvert doesn't seem to attract much attention and can't say I've heard much crowing about Warblington either.

 

[harry42]

If anyone doesn't know how to search on google, use this then change station to the station you are looking up

 

[gith]

Bedhampton?

 

[fairysdad]

Passed through here the other day and thought to myself that this station could be a good candidate for this thread.
