With just 34 passengers a year, Denton is Britain's loneliest railway station

Denton has been named Britain's least used railway station with just 34 passengers a year.

The list has been produced by website everylaststation.co.uk, which analysed 2023 data to reveal which stations in England, Wales and Scotland are the least visited.

Denton Station, on the Stockport-Stalybridge Line, is the number one least-used overall. 

The two-platform station is maintained by Northern Rail, has no staff, and sees just one train service per week - leaving for Stalybridge on a Friday morning at 9.32am.

The service, nicknamed the ‘Denton Flyer’, reaches Stalybridge in 11 minutes and must be flagged down by passengers at Denton. 

Elton and Orston Station, in Nottinghamshire, is the second least-used train station in Britain with 56 users annually.
