How many trains are there in the UK?

Answer 1

274 tube stations in the network - this includes station on the Metropolitan line for example which goes outside of London, but I hope this still answers the question!
This figure does not include any exclusively over ground stations (ie: National networks like City Thameslink/ Camden Road/ Peckham Rye/ etc, nor tram stops [additional 38 stops], nor DLR [additional 29 stations] )

Answer 2

According to NAO in their 2005 report there are 2,507. See here for full report: http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/nao_reports/05-06/0506132.pdf According to NAO in their 2005 report there are 2,507. See here for full report: http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/nao_reports/05-06/0506132.pdf

Answer 3

Lots of little ones.

Main ones are:

Kings Cross

Liverpool St. Station

Waterloo Station

and Victoria Station
There are 10 main line terminus stations in London plus several hundred small commuter type stations. There are also around 280 tube (underground) stations.

Answer 4

I reckon there are around 5,900 stations, including those on heritage or private railways, proposed stations and London Underground.

Not a definitive answer - but a start!

A better answer:

without closed down stations or underground stations it is 2656.

i counted those listed on wikipedia and including closed down stations it is 9458. (not including underground stations)

At the moment there are 311 underground stations and there are 43 underground stations that were once open and now have closed, soo..

In total all the stations closed now or still open in the UK is: 9812.
