A very lowly 22 score for me but I have since remembered using another station on the list plus Hampton Court bringing the total to 24.

My score was 72, but would be around 80 if all the "mentioned missing" were included.

I suspect 22 is not "low"  Grin ... even if it were a competition.   Which it isn't.  And there are pretty darned few termini in Surrey!

Poll remains open until 18:00 today (27th December 2020) ... no fewer than 39 members completed it yesterday. Inputs so far - a number of members in single figures right up to a Geoff Marshall look-alike (he's the "all the stations" guy).

I've been to more than the 28 I declared, 29 if Harwich Town is added, the ones I declared are the ones I have travelled to by train, there are a number of others where I have been to by road for work purposes

Interestingly, I made the same decision not to declare two terminal stations I have visited, though not be train ... even though the question did not specify "by train" ...

I've ticked 59, but it may be plus or minus a couple from that. I've probably cycled to visit or passed about another 15 or more of the stations on various tours, without actually catching a train from any.

What was your thinking on Clitheroe, grahame?

Unlike Okehampton and Corfe Castle, Clitheroe is more often a terminus for National Rail services than not. And this year (2020) it has only been a terminus as there have been no DalesRail through services at all.

EDIT. Never mind. I've just re-read the thread and seen your earlier post explaining the likes of Clitheroe.

I have been on trains that have terminated at for example, Southampton, Brockenhurst and Bournemouth, timtabled as well, for onward bus/taxi connection, I read the the rules as a station with a buferstop at the end, so was a bit perplexed at Corfe Castle, would have added at least ten more anyway, as the memory fades at just how well I have travelled. Tended not to take photos, keep tickets, or a diary.

Looking back through the list there were a few more that I could have added had we been allowed unrestricted travel in 2020.  I would have had another All Line Rover for 14 days last summer, the third in a row.

The 2018 Rover was an All My Yesterdays trip to my old haunts at the end of steam in the mid and late 60s. The 2019 one took me to the ones I missed in 2018 (mainly through overloading the itinerary in 2018 and missing tight connections, cancelled trains and on consequent spec revisions to the itinerary en route), and also started to cover lines I had not previously used at all. Amongst other places, this took me to Kings Lynn, Cleethorpes and Barton on Humber.

The 2020 Rover was supposed to complete the new lines objective and by now they are nearly all in greater East Anglia, so would have added Cromer, Felixstowe, Braintree, Colchester Town, Harwich Town, Sheringham (although I have actually arrived there by train from Holt I didn?t include it), Southminster and Sudbury to the list.

So that would have taken my 103 up to 111, and I also notice that for some reason I didn?t include Uckfield in the original list, so that takes my figure to 104 now and hopefully 112 in 2021.

"No passenger service beyond, and in the regular National Rail timetable with a service running all year - or supposed to" I suppose if being pedantic. Buffer stops on all lines is good, but there are a handful that may have freight services or special excursion or stock transfer services beyond which I have included as normal termini. East Grinstead, Alloa, Coombe Junction, Sheringham ...

What about terminal staions bypassed. I've bypassed  Carmarthan, Swansea, and Norwhich by the 3rd side of the Triangle at the approach to station. I've not been to any of the three.

Plus Aberdare on the way to Tower Collery. A disappoiting trip up the valley hemmed in by trees.

Memo to self, if and when, railtours start up again, don't do the Welsh valleys in Summer.

Note Modified to add Swansea.
