Trivia: Stations with 4 or more platforms, but under 1 million entries/exits

[Class465pacer]

Anyone got any ideas? The platforms have to be active, and the entries/exits figure has to be the most recent.

Good shout, I see the reason for the amount of platforms is that it’s an interchange between 3 lines

Llandudno Junction
Scarborough

Skegness? Wiki seems to say 350k a year. I guess some of those seaside towns with big stations from back in t'day might qualify

Apsley
Cheddington

Earlestown has five platforms and less than 500,000 entries/exits, I believe.

East Midlands Parkway probably

Smethwick GB

Think that to put responses in context, the number of active platforms and number of entries/exits needs to be mentioned.

 

[London Trains]

Kings Langley
Apsley
Tring
Cheddington (which has potentially one of the lowest uses for a 4 platform station)

Penzance

Yep all good suggestions

Other ones I can think of:
Taplow (312k), Langley (866k), Iver (259k) - 4 platforms, 2 of which are on the fast lines and are rarely used

 

[richard1976]

Hooton 4 platforms (2 of the platforms see little or no use)

 

[Halish Railway]

Brookman’s Park - 233K, although two of them are normally closed off, but can still be used.

Edit - Church Fenton is a good one with 93K passengers.

West Allerton might take some beating with just 43,000.

 

[CW2]

Tilehurst (592k), Goring & Streatley (432k), Cholsey (290k), Hadley Wood (410k).

I just checked Smethwick GB: 806k entries/exits in 2018/19, but there were over 500k interchanges as well.

In Belfast, Lanyon Place and Gt Victoria St both have 4 platforms, but i can't find entrance/exit figures. Total 2017 rail journeys in N.I was only 15 million.

 

[mjmason1996]

Huyton and Roby (Liverpool area) ,
Leyland (Lancashire)
All have 4 platforms and sub 1 million journeys (though Huyton briefly climbed above 1 mil for a year or two)

 

[vlad]

Kidsgrove - 4 platforms, all in regular use.

Cheadle Hulme has a similar layout. I think that's under a million as well.

 

[Huntergreed]

Kilmarnock in Scotland has 4 platforms and only 600,000 entries/exits per year.

 

[Iskra]

Barnetby 67,000

Horley is just under the million, Earlswood well under (but does it have 4 usable platforms now?)

Horley is just under the million, Earlswood well under (but does it have 4 usable platforms now?)

If you’re talking about Earlswood in Surrey, Wikipedia says the fast line platforms were closed in the 1980s.

Tyseley (250k)

West Allerton might take some beating with just 43,000.

Seems Cheddington is not the lowest then...
