Following this thread, about which was the largest place without a coach service
I wonder what the smallest place is with a coach service. A couple of years ago, I would have thought possibly Crowden, on the A628 Woodhead route between Sheffield and Manchester on the 350 route. It is basically a few houses, an outdoor activity centre, and it used to have a Youth Hostel - not really sure if it is still open. However, it was on the Pennine Way and had no other public transport. On the same route was Langsett, which had a coach stop, but was slightly larger, and does, I think, still have the odd bus or two.
However, the 350 has stopped after Covid, and been superseded by the Hulley’s X57, which goes over the Snake, not Woodhead.
Any ideas?
Trivia: Largest place without a coach service
Macclesfield 53,000 and Crewe 73,000 used to have National Express services, but no longer have. What other large places don't have a coach service (National Express, Flixbus, Megabus, Citylink)?
