More railways

There are five train stations in Great Britain with more than 30 million passenger entry / exit movements a year.

London Waterloo, 87.9m
London Victoria, 70.2m
Liverpool Street, 55.1m
London Bridge, 49.7m
London Charing Cross, 36.7m

And there are five stations with fewer than 100 entry / exit movements a year.
Barry Links, 94
Kirton Lindsey, 88
Maidstone Barracks, 70
Denton, 56
Teesside Airport, 44

I clearly need a train icon.

Waterloo East is next door to London Waterloo (there is a covered footbridge between the two). I think they were built by competing historical railway companies, but don't have time to look for the details right now. The main Waterloo station also gets trains from the South West; London Bridge gets trains from the whole South coast (e.g. Brighton and Southampton), as well as Kent. I use London Bridge for work, Victoria for shopping and change onto the Waterloo line at Clapham Junction for visiting my Mum.

As you say (except that if I were to use Clapham Junction for visiting my mum, it would be an horrendously complicated route!)
