Title: Busiest single-platform station Post by: grahame on September 25, 2020, 02:19:48 Quote New plans unveiled for Britain's busiest single-platform station which has 650,000 passengers a year It is hoped to bring back a second platform into use to give train travellers more options Busiest single platform station .... Windsor are Eton Central? Nope ... according to TeesSide Live (https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/new-plans-unveiled-britains-busiest-18993610) it's ... I don't begrudge the people from "up north" their extra platform if they need it ... but it's a bit naughty to claim the "busiest" crown and quote passenger numbers when they're less than a third of "ours". A quick look shows Windsor and Eton Central has more departures too; if you use "total time passengers spend waiting at the station" or "total travel time on the train they arrive / leave on" you may come a bit closer.

Didn't see any mention about Teeside airport, can't understand why so few trains call at Teeside airport. I know that plane travel comes in for a lot of stick in our eco World,but the option/s should there to get to the airport by train, when its right next door.

Take a look at http://www.passenger.chat/22721 with pictures taken on my visit last summer, and comment.

Coupled with the access issues from the station shown elsewhere, it was never an attractive option for traveller use.
