The 2,579 railway stations on the National Rail network in Great Britain are classified into six categories (two of which are each divided into two subcategories) by the Department for Transport.
The scheme was devised in 1996[1] and there was a review in 2009 when 106 stations changed categories.
[2] The categorisation scheme is owned by Network Rail, the site landlord of most of the stations.
Stations in Scotland are categorised and counted in the totals below, for example Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley are both category A,[1] but are not included in the lists of stations for each category.
The only exception is Worthing, which has not been given a subcategory; it is listed by DfT as "C".
