Livingston has a population of over 60000 but neither of the stations are staffed. Is there anywhere larger on the rail network that doesn't have a staffed station?

EDIT: I should have said settlement rather than town as I want to include cities in this.

Livingston is roughly twice the size of Pontefract.

I can't think of anywhere that can trump Livingston.

Can't do any better.

Nantwich is a lot smaller than I thought (only half the size of Kenilworth, and that sure as hell doesn't have a staffed station). In fact Penrhiwceiber/Mountain Ash seems to be larger than Nantwich.

This may well be cheating but... Glasgow?

Bellgrove doesn't have any staff!

Isleworth in SW London is as far as I know, with ~750,000 in Thursday's figures; then Steeton & Silsden at 600,000 I think. Livingston North is 250,000-400,000 at a guess, I can't check right now though :)

Ah, getting my numbers muddled - I did only have a quick glance! Those two plus Steeton were the highest I could find.

But Glasgow does have at least one staffed station... Glasgow Central off the top of my head.

And Queen Street, Charing Cross, Dalmuir, Hyndland, Westerton, Newton, Partick just to name a few

I know. I had a senior moment and couldn't figure out how to delete my post.
