The Covid-19 Pandemic severely affected these statistics The publicity around these stations is fuelled by the nature of how unusual they are.

Railway enthusiasts are known to visit them for either being able to say they have been there, or in order to boost the station's statistics up to make it more used.

Geoff Marshall, a YouTuber known for his railway-related content, has a series dedicated to visiting these stations.

[1] There has also been news coverage on a few of the least used stations, for example Berney Arms had an ITV reporter sent to cover it when it was announced in the 2019/20 period.

The least used station in the whole country for this period was Teesside Airport, which had 2 passengers due to the platforms being closed over safety fears in May 2022.

Stanlow & Thornton had its services suspended in February 2022 (before the end of the year) due to safety concerns about the footbridge.

[5] Some stations were even closed for long periods of time due to inability to social distance, caused by short platforms.

There were six stations which were used by zero people in this period, those being: Abererch, Beasdale, Llanbedr, Sampford Courtenay, Stanlow and Thornton, and Sugar Loaf.

[5] Abererch, Llanbedr, and Sugar Loaf were some of a few stations closed during the pandemic due to social distancing measures.

[5] Sampford Courtenay was last served by Great Western Railway in summer 2019, and had all of its services withdrawn in December 2019 not long before the Dartmoor Heritage Railway went into administration, and no trains have served it since.

[10] Beasdale and Stanlow & Thornton had low passenger usage before the pandemic, so the restrictions impacted this even further.

However, it was closed during the pandemic due to social distancing measures, and when it was re-opened it never gained back its previous form.

The least used station in the whole country for this period was Berney Arms, a small request stop on a lesser-used line between Norwich and Great Yarmouth.

It dropped by approximately 90% from its statistics last year, due to it being closed for 15 months for signalling work.

Stanlow and Thornton used to get an hourly service in the 1980s, but it has now been reduced to two trains in each direction a day.

This is due to its location (on a small industrial estate near Liskeard) and its sparse service.

The only reason it gets this title is due to a supposed anomalous result caused by a 'computer predicting system'.

This station got second place twice in a row (see above) due to a supposed anomalous results caused by a 'computer predicting system'.

Owing to its sparse service of four trains a day,[22] and its location on an industrial estate near Liskeard, this station is always very under used.

One of two stations in the small village of Tyndrum, this one is located on the West Highland Line.

The station earned this title due to its sparse Saturday-only service which were introduced in British Rail in 1993.

Unusually, this period, a station was created in the data under the name of "King's Cross St Pancras" which recorded only 41 passengers despite the usage for both stations individually being many thousands of times greater.
