hope people dont mind me going out of fgw's area for this one but i want to see who gets this first....

name the two stations in the uk that only one train per week calls as

Denton and Reddish South?

lol i posted this then realised you were online and knew it would go in 2 seconds flat and it did!

And can you come up with three stations that only have one train per week each way then?   I think I know two, but I've seen a reference to three somewhere, so I think I've overlooked somewhere ...

i know 3 that are once a day in each direction? did you mean day or week

I mean "week".   Twice the service of Reddish South and Denton  ;D

damnnn you lol im going to be awake all night looking into this now  :(

 ;D ;D   I'll be up at 6 to see if you've come up with (any) of them.  As I say, I know two of the three (and I'm racking my brain, still, over the third!)

teesside airport

Yes - that was one I got. I know one more. And I'm scratching my head over the third; I've come up with five stations that don't have a Monday to Friday service, and I know of two which are (I think) still open but have no service at all. 

One used to be Godley East on the Hadfield/Glossop line (ex Woodhead route). It's in my first edition Baker (1988) but not in my  7th 1992 edition so presumably it was officialy closed.

A very good web site is the Branch line Societies www.psul4all.free-online.co.uk.

Picked up Newhaven Marine from it where service is temporarily suspended because of condition of station roof. Also Folkestone Harbour still appears to  have occasional use.

Is Weymouth Quay officialy closed?

Will keep digging.

i forgot about that one well when i lived up there i was like once a day from there but just checked it closed in 1995

I came up with the following ...

One train each way per week:
Tees-side Airport, Pilning, and there is said to be one other

Stations that are officially open but with no service:
Watford West, Norton Bridge (and others close by)

Weekend Only service:
In addition to Pilning and Tees-side airport, Denton and Reddish South ... Shippea Hill, Lakenheath, Buckenham, Gainsborough Central, Brigg, Kirton Lindsey.

These lists are what I think should be described as "E&OE" - that's "Errors and Omissions Excepted" which basically means there are likely to be some [stations] missing from the lists, and some may have appeared that that shouldn't have!

For saying as we're on "lighter side" this is a bit depressing  :P - but please add any others I have missed!

What about Manchester United Football ground at Old Trafford (not the tram stop on the Altringham line) but  on the old CLC line to Liverpool via Warrington Central.

Was in Folkestone recently for my sins - the station is looking pretty dilapidated now although the track is still there - couldn't get high enough to see if it looked used recently.
