Railway Stations: Urban Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many urban areas in England with populations of over 17,000 do not have a railway station.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
It is estimated that there are approximately 80 ‘built up areas’ with a population of 20,000 or more that do not contain operational railway stations within England.
Some large cities and towns consist of several built up areas, and whilst a specific built up area may not contain a station, there may be one or more stations within close proximity in a neighbouring built up area.
