Cough, splutter: Monday to Saturday three trains per day operate eastbound to Wick and westbound to Inverness, with two trains a day on Sundays.
Best not tell grahame about that level of service ...   I'm not going to make any Wiltshire claims for "most useless train service" ... there are uses for the current TransWilts service and doubling the number of trains could raise from one to 9 or 16 the number of round trip opportunities. My vote would be Norton Bridge ... |

Ah yes..... Norton Bridge. An apparently still open station with no train service whatsoever! |

Substitute buses.
Still I would count that as the most useless railway station.

Closest station to daventry but no de net bus connections, no taxi rank and piss poor car park

Agreed that more could perhaps be done to entice Daventry folk to use it, but it's still tempting enough to get 157000 passengers a year. Hardly pointless! |

You can add Barlaston and Wedgewood Halt to Norton Bridge as the most useless service.
Doing some national journey planning Taplow to Barlaston, you go through Barlaston and Wedgewood to Stoke and come back on the bus.
Whereas to Norton Bridge you get a change at Stafford (XC▸ from Reading) onto the bus.
However, I got one joureny where you go to Stoke (08:11 XC from Reading) a bus to Stone and another bus to Norton Bridge! Having gone through both Norton Bridge and Stone on your way to Stoke! But to add insult to injury the train also stops at Stafford!

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
