Least Used Stations
Everyone loves a Least Used Station. So here is everything you need to know about them!
Every year the Office of Rail & Road release data which shows the estimates for station usage. Using this data we are able to find out what the least used stations are for each county in England. For Scotland it's a little bit more complicated as some regions only have one or two stations in it. In this instance I have merged neighbouring regions together. Least Used Station data can be downloaded below.
