Of those stations currently open on the national network:

Scotscalder, Corrour, Rannoch, Dovey Junction, Berney Arms, Sugar Loaf and Teesside Airport (at least) have populations of zero.  However none of these is a town or city as asked in the OP and they exist solely to serve specific needs such as hikers at Corrour, interchange at Dovey Junction and a pub and windmill at Berney Arms .

 

Which town or city in the UK has the greatest number of Railway Stations per capita of the population?

Bridge of Orchy does not record a separate population figure for its modest hotel-based settlement but I believe it to be in the region of 10.  

 

Forsinard does not record separate population figures either but I believe the permanent population is in the region of 20.  

 

The honour for a town with more than one station goes without doubt to Tyndrum with it two stations serving a population of 167 (83.5 per station)

Ryde is the smallest town with three open stations

 

Acton is the town (albeit a suburb of London but still a clearly defined area with its own centre) with the greatest number of stations including the place name other than London itself.  North, South, East, West, Central, Town and Main Line however only South, Central and Main Line are on the NR with the other four being on TfL routes.
