Which station from your experience would you say is the worst station to spot trains and why.
Teeside airport. 2 trains a week.
True, but you've still got to get to the station to spot from it.Still half-hourly 142s/156s from Saltburn-Darlo/Bishop Auckland....
Oldham Mumps must be quite bad these days.
I would imagine a station with no freight and bog-standard stock such as 142s, 156s etc with no variation.
Nothing at all at the moment. Its shut for the Oldham Metrolink extention work.
Even some busy stations would probably be boring. For example Sudbury has a more frequent train service than many mentioned (it's hourly) but it's the same unit shuttling back and forth each day.
Most stations on the Merseyrail electrics network, all trains are EMU class 507 or 508s.
MPVs quite active here, currently aprox every 2 days, (don't think many people go looking for these though!)
Class 67s in and out of Birkenhead North, (507002 should be back soon).
Class 142/150/153/156 in out of Ormskirk/Southport/Kirkby/Bidston/Ellesmere Port...
Freight around Bootle, usually 60s or 66s going to/from Seaforth.
FL 66s and 70s in/out of Ellesmere Port (cement).
Hooton usually gets a few tours too, including the Royals
Still is quite quiet compared to other "networks" though...
Possibly Looe, Cornwall- a single FGW 150 shuttle between there and Liskeard each day.
But my first choice is Heysham Port, a single Northern 156 each day

It can be varied though; a 142, 144 and 153 have shown up on different occasions.
Surely somewhere like Berney Arms. 4 Sprinters a day, two in each direction. Miles from anywhere and not even a shelter. Any stations that have less trains passing through (I know some have less stopping, but often have quite a few passing through)?

For the heysham at the moment, its 142, 144 or a 150. It comes from Leeds which dosent have any 156 diagrams now (sadly).
