Development Potential
England's busiest station (apart from those serving airports) had 4,170,558 passenger movements in the period 2019-2020. The station with the least was 68. Conisbrough station had 116,516 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 320 people per day.

The potential area for development around the station (excluding existing buildings, national parks, flood zones, public green space, protected habitats, areas of outstanding natural beauty, world heritage sites and surface water) is approximately 47.04ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 40 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 1,882 homes.
