Some train stations used by 'fewer than 30' people [BBC News]
Date: 01/05/2013
Some of Britain's mainline train stations are being used by fewer than 30 people a year, a new study suggests. Teesside Airport station, in Darlington, had just 14 passengers between 2011-12. Surrey's Dorking West had 16 passengers, while Denton in Greater Manchester had 30. First Great Western, which runs services through Dorking West, say there is 'an anomaly' in the calculations and the figure is wrong. The estimates are based on station exits and entrances in the 12 months ending March 2012. They have been compiled by transport consultants Steer Davies Gleave for the Office of Rail Regulation.
