Is Clapham Junction really Britains busiest railway station?
Hannah May, Brighton, UK • No, but all those omnibuses ought to make it Britain’s busiest road junction. Hari Menon, Mumbai, India • Not only is it Britain’s busiest railway station, but according to new signs that have just gone up it’s also Europe’s busiest railway station too – quite a claim, I should think. Richard, Twickenham, UK • It was ‘Britain’s busiest railway station’ for a long while, until the sign was changed recently. Hopefully it was as a result of active pedantry. Dan Eastwell, Brighton, UK • Yes, I think so Philip, Wiesbaden, Germany • It`s also the worlds biggest train juction (the ability to rotate a whole carriage on a rotating platform) Stevie Cee, Clapham Junction, England • It is the busiest by number of trains passing through – but not by passenger numbers. Pieter Funnekotter, Bournemouth, England • There are several stations that are busier in terms of passenger numbers. Waterloo is the UK’s busiest in terms of annual entry/exit with over 62 million passengers
