Least Used Station with the Best Service?

[wnr1990]

I'll start with Faygate.

It's a station that received just over 10 passengers a day last year, yet gets a regular half hourly weekday Thameslink service right into the core of London.

Unless it's changed recently then Faygate was mostly peak hours only with a couple random extras around midday.

Faygate is still like that. It has a total of 21 calls on Weekdays.

Ravensthorpe has an hourly service (TPE permitting) and additional peak calls on Northern's Leeds to Wigan service. 31k users in the latest figures, so around 30-40 per day (allowing for weekends etc).

Think similar questions to this are raised every now and then...

Swale (on the Sheerness line) has 37 trains calling daily during the week. Under 30 passengers per day based on latest stats.

Breich in Scotland has 35 trains calling per day, and maybe a grand total of ten passengers per day.

Previous thread here...

The least used station on the National Rail network with an hourly service during the working day?

Another variation on a often-discussed theme. If we include request stops on a line with an hourly service, then several on the Barnstaple and Looe branches are used by fewer than 100 passengers a week. Excluding request stops, the answer seems to be St. Andrews Road, with 110 passengers a week...

I will nominate Beltring whose service frequency was increased on December 11th from hourly to half hourly all day service.
It has around 10,000 passengers per annum. I will leave the readers to calculate the statistics.
Whenever I have used trains that I have stopped at the station there are rarely any passengers using the station. In my over 40 years of living nearby in Kent I have used the station once.

Can I suggest that the quantity (passengers per annum / trains per annum) be calculated to give (passengers per train), and the station with the smallest result is the winner?

Yorton is probably up there.
