Oxford Train Station is the second most popular in the south east, according to new research.

The study, conducted by West Somerset Railway, looked at the number of Google searches each station received per month on average from July 2023 to June this year.

It revealed Milton Keynes Central led the way with 90,500 searches.

Oxford followed with 74,000 searches, and the most popular journey from the station was found to be to London Paddington.

Brighton Railway Station rounded out the top three, attracting 60,500 searches.

Portsmouth and Southsea Rail Station was at the bottom of the list, achieving only 12,100 searches.

Across the UK, London Victoria Station, Liverpool Street Station and Waterloo Station topped the list in first, second and third respectively.

Samantha White, from West Somerset Railway, said: “It is amazing to see that there are so many searches for train stations in the UK, including Milton Keynes Central being the most searched station in the South East.

“I feel that six million average searches across the UK in the last year goes to show that there is a desire in the public to use train services as a main form of public transport.

"Whether that be commuting to work or travelling to beautiful areas of the country on a holiday, the demand for train travel remains high.”
