          The first one is correct. Often we have the verb match the closest subject, and elide the other.



          So the bold here would be a correct sentence, and the brackets contain the implied verb:




          There is one primary station and [there are] multiple secondary stations.



          There is one over here and [there is] one over there.



          There are three stations nearby and [there is] one further away.
