Nonsense !

I admit it's not far off being the largest town in Scotland without a railway station, though I would think Kirkintilloch, St Andrews, Peterhead and Grangemouth are all larger.

but in England there are some much bigger places without a railway station. Even if we don't count dudley (since Dudley Port is only a mile away). Just off the top of my head I can think of Leigh, Ripon, Washington, Peterlee, Ilkeston, Swadlincote, Abingdon and Newport (IOW).
