I would hazard a guess and say Winchester would be quite high up the list too.

118th place for Winchester.

I was interested in a past year to see which stations had the heaviest footfall per metre of operational platform and recall that Windsor and Eton Central bubbled up to being one of the busiest.  In GWR (Great Western Railway) land, I would imagine that stations such as St Bureaux Ferry Road come towards the quietest; on a couple of uses the infrequent service there competes poorly with a frequent and quite fast bus service along the nearby main road.

Some examples for the 2024/25 looking up platform lengths in the sectional appendix

1701274/113 = 15056 - Windsor and Eton - passengers per metre per annum
6510506/(195+279) = 13735 - Bath Spa  - passengers per metre per annum
655356/(185+185) = 1771 - Stroud  - passengers per metre per annum
415576/(169+173) = 1215 - Redruth - passengers per metre per annum
60930/74.5 = 818 - Melksham - passengers per metre per annum
11864/110 =108 - St Budeaux Victoria Road - passengers per metre per annum
2449/(124+126) = 10 - St Budeaux Ferry Road - passengers per metre per annum
