Maybe the quietest with PIS is somewhere on the West Highland Line, maybe Ardlui ?

Not sure if the stations past Crianlarich / Fort William have PIS ?

I believe all Scottish stations, apart from Dunrobin Castle, have PIS.

Barry Links is the quietest station in Scotland and third quietest in the UK. It received CIS screens on both platforms in 2019 so I guess this is the winner, certainly on passenger numbers.

Southport's a pretty busy station to not have PIS screens on the platforms. There's a summary screen facing you as you come through the barriers and another on the concourse outside the barriers but no individual screens on any of the 6 platforms.

Even Altnabreac?

Pretty much the whole Cambrian line has PIS now, presumably owing to many of the stations having to be rebuilt - to modern standards - very frequently...

Sugar Loaf halt on the Heart of Wales, pictured on a visit from 2013...

The only time I've known a train stop there, was when I stopped it

Finstock and Combe stations on the Cotswold Line each have a full GWR PIS - one weekday service in each direction, passenger numbers generally under 2000/year.

Rural railway stations across Scotland have been fitted with new customer information screens (CIS), as part of a £675,000 investment.

Easy-to-read LED display screens have been installed at 36 rural railway stations, meaning every station in Scotland – except for Dunrobin Castle - now has real-time, visual, train information.

One that surprised me by not having PIS was Southease. Not so much because of it's passenger numbers, but because it's surrounded by such busy stations like Lewes and Falmer that seem so far away in character from somewhere remote and facility lacking, and yet are so geographically close.

Not sure about now, but GWR rolled out CIS at Oldfield Park only a couple of years ago, and that had over 300,000 entries and exits. GWR have been rolling out more CIS since as well, including at Lawrence Hill, Stapleton Road and Yate.

The largest station without won't be in Scotland or Wales as all stations (except Dunrobin Castle as mentioned) have electronic display screens.

Dorcester West reportedly had over 150,000 entries and exits last year and only has help points.

EDIT: Cam and Dursley is at 191,000 and only had help points last time I passed, a few weeks ago.

EDIT: St Ives has 750,000 entries and exits but only has a help point as far as I know.
