All GB National Rail stations, I think? There are trains in Northern Ireland, and I think metros and heritage routes are omitted.
Can anyone explain why British trains are so crazy expensive in comparison to the rest of Europe?
Title really ought to be stations in England, Wales & Scotland. Northern Ireland has its own railway system with 54 stations.
Not sure what your source is as the GitHub says you were unable to find a complete source so you compiled this.
The National Rail Stations knowledgebase on Rail Data Marketplace contains all of the info you’ve used here though
Im pretty sure the clusters around Cardiff, Birmingham and the northern cities are mainly due to our industrial past 🤷🏼♂️

A pre-Beeching version of this map would look significantly more cluttered
Great! Interesting to see the branch lines and how concentrated the rail network is in London
Now can we have one colour coded by how many passengers each station has? Data is available from ORR.
I know this is pedantic, but why did you label the Northern and midland cities, but not the southern ones(except london) like Bristol, Southampton, Portsmouth and Plymouth
Anyone wondering why there’s a big cluster on the west coast near Glasgow – despite being home to around 40,000 people, Greenock has more train stations than any other city or town in Scotland, aside Glasgow and Edinburgh. I believe I count eight.
