Could probably add Crewe to that list really. LNWR have 4tph plus Northern and TfW, don't imagine Avanti average more than 3 or 4 tphRugby - managed by Avanti WC but served mainly by LNWR. Stafford - managed by Avanti WC but majority of trains served by LNWR and XC.
Some stations that were not that big and important were presumably allotted to the Intercity under BR because they were served at the time solely or mainly by trains operated by the Intercity sector - Carstairs, Lockerbie and Pewsey spring to mind as they all bore the distinctive Intercity markings and livery on their station signage.That's an interesting method. 'Originally' (depending on how far back in time you go!) they were InterCity stations because they were big and important, as befits a big important sector, and the allocation remains through subsequent operators. IC got the pick and Regional Railways got the rest.
Quite so, yes.Some stations that were not that big and important were presumably allotted to the Intercity under BR because they were served at the time solely or mainly by trains operated by the Intercity sector - Carstairs, Lockerbie and Pewsey spring to mind as they all bore the distinctive Intercity markings and livery on their station signage.
Legally, the station sites are leased to the TOC. If you'd call someone with a leasehold on a flat a homeowner, it's probably also technically correct to call TOCs the owners of their stations.Stations managed – nearly all of them are owned by Network Rail
I wouldn’t because they and their property are still bound by ground rents unless they buy the freehold. Until then I would call them the lessee, as the TOCs are.Legally, the station sites are leased to the TOC.

I think TFW still win it.Pre-covid, Chester (managed by TfW) had 6tph TfW services.
But there were also 4tph Merseyrail, 2tph Northern and 1tph (sometimes 2tph) Avanti.
These days, with all the thinning out of TfW and Avanti services, Merseyrail's 4tph wins hands down for frequency.
Off-topic but what is the one station that is apparently managed by TfGM?Attached is a list of TOCs and number of Stations owned / managed.
Horwich Parkway.Off-topic but what is the one station that is apparently managed by TfGM?
It isn’t directly managed by TfGM is it? Isn’t it owned by TfGM as opposed to Network Rail but leased to Northern?Horwich Parkway.
Incidentally, Manchester Airport probably also qualifies. Managed by TPE, who currently operate 1.5tph, whilst Northern run 3tph and TfW 1tph. Pre-Covid those figures were 4tph, 4tph and 1tph respectively.
No, its management was taken over by TfGM about a year ago.It isn’t directly managed by TfGM is it? Isn’t it owned by TfGM as opposed to Network Rail but leased to Northern?
Here's a thread just created: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/station-owners.229142/No, its management was taken over by TfGM about a year ago.
There are a number of other stations that aren't owned by Network Rail, for example Warwick Parkway. But that probably justifies its own thread (if there isn't already one).
Northern currently run 4tph, Blackpool, Barrow/Windermere, Liverpool (via Earlestown) and Crewe. Pre covid, Northern had 5tph (as above plus Liverpool via Warrington)Horwich Parkway.

Oops, I searched for trains towards Piccadilly, forgetting that there's 1tph towards Wilmslow. So even pre-Covid, Northern had more trains.Stockport and Wigan North Western managed by Avanti but have more Northern services than Avanti.

But the OP surely doesn't have a monopoly on what posters may find of interest to add to the threadYou’ll find these don’t meet my criteria then if you read the OP.
I like this one. At times it's certainly been trueAll stations on Blaneau Ffestiniog Line. Managed by TFW, served mostly by Llew Jones Coaches.
Does that count?
There’s plenty of capacity on the forum for off topic “posts of interest” in other threadsBut the OP surely doesn't have a monopoly on what posters may find of interest to add to the thread
That's always been the case really. Chiltern had at most 5tph passing through the station (at peak times) whereas WMT had 12tph. Even with WMT reducing to 8tph they still exceed Chiltern by some margin.Not sure if it’s been mentioned but Birmingham Moor Street seems to be much better served by West Midlands Trains than Chiltern Railways currently, and would imagine Solihull and Dorridge are too.
