The quietest active train station isn’t far from the Manchester Piccadilly. According to Railway Magazine, just 34 people used Denton station throughout the entire year. The station took the title from Teesside Airport’s train station which was used by just two people. This wasn’t considered the winner because it was shut during the period the survey covered. Teesside Airport's train station had just two users during the year, but shut in May 2022. The top 10 least used railway stations 2022/23: Teesside Airport (Darlington) Denton (Greater Manchester) Elton & Orston (Nottinghamshire) Kirton Lindsey (Lincolnshire) Reddish South (Greater Manchester) Coombe Junction Halt (Cornwall) Scotscalder (Highland) Ince & Elton (Cheshire) Shippea Hill (Cambridgeshire) Kildonan (Highland)
