Stations Progress
Since 2021, I have been working on a long-term project to visit railway stations. This page tracks my progress as I gradually tick off and complete my home county, then the neighbouring ones, then others, then eventually maybe England, and maybe after that Wales and Scotland. More info will eventually appear on my blog.

About these stats
- Rather than aim for all 2,570+ stations in one go, I started local, so I only loaded my home county (Suffolk) and its neighbours onto the map. As time has gone on, I’ve gradually added more counties to the map.
- If I’ve visited a station that is in a county not yet on the map, I’ll add it as an “Extra” until I’m ready to add the whole county.
- The County breakdown below shows a total of stations “on map”, then the total of counties not yet loaded onto the map, then the total for Wales and Scotland, in order to get the current figure of National Rail Stations.
- Use the slider below the map to change the “date”—this will show you when I visited each station, as the blobs change from light to dark green.
- The breakdown and the map are all generated from data stored in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. One day I’ll write a blog post about how this all works, but for now all you need to know is that this page gets updated at least once a day.
- Let me know if there’s something you would like to see on this page.
