Looking at today's trains, I noticed a service I was previously unaware of - a Sunday morning Retford - Meadowhall train - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y65407/2019/07/14/advanced - great idea, getting to the popular shopping centre just after ten on a Sunday morning, makes sense.
Presumably this is a relatively new service (the Retford - Sheffield line didn't have passenger services before Sunday lunchtimes until fairly recently).
The reason for mentioning it is that I can't remember any other services terminating at Meadowhall - hundreds of Northern/TPE trains serve it each day and others pass through non-stop (XC, EMT) but the layout isn't great for terminating services and I can't recall any that have done so (other than engineering works/ blockades/ temporary disruption).
Some stations have hundreds of services a day but none that actually terminate there - off the top of my head I'm thinking of Shipley, Waterloo East and (Manchester) Deansgate...
...at some stations everything terminates (too many branch lines to list!)...
...but are there any other stations that do have some terminating services but those terminating services are (say) less than 1% of the daily services at the station?
