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.

Teesside Airport 'station' is apparently at least a quarter of an hour's walk from the tiny airport it 'serves' and features precisely two trains a week - one that goes to the station on a Saturday morning and one that departs from the station later in the day.

So you really need to co-ordinate your travel plans very carefully, and be prepared to sleep at the airport for a few days if your flight back touches down on a Sunday.

I have steam train icons here, but I'm not sure where you'd find modern ones.

You can use mine if you like!

Charing Cross, Waterloo East (where is London Waterloo? Is it a different station from London Waterloo East?) and London Bridge are all on the same line and London Victoria isn't far from it at all - so clearly a massive amount of rail use from southeast (Kent) into London - probably mostly daily commuters, don't you think?

Maidstone Barracks is the only one of the little-used stations I recognize, just because it's also in that southeast/Kent grouping of stations; I spent a lot of time going to Gravesend!

There actually *is* a Denton?
Is there a Jack Frost living there?

There's no such place as Teesside Airport ;)

(Because...they renamed it. Quite a while ago.)
