The best I can think of is Manchester Picadilly with 6.
EMT
Northern
FTPE
VT
CC
ATW

Can anybody else think of somewhere with more?

Grand Central doesn't strictly serve Peterborough does it?? Grand Central runs non-stop to York but does NXEA stop there??

NXEA does indeed serve peterborough.

Britain's Busiest Railway Station (so say the signs) - Clapham Junction - only gets 3 (SWT, Southern & London Overground).

Peterborough has five - Hull Trains do not call.

No-one mentioned Crewe? Seven: VWC, AXC, ATW, LM, EMT, Northern, Scotrail (Sleepers).

I have seen a GC train stop at Peterborough although the ECML was in a big mess due to the wires so it could have been a one off thing. So sadly Peterborough slips to only 5.

I think as Matt said, Crewe is the reining champ :lol:

Even if it was included i think it would still only have a total of 6.
