An idle thought occurred while planning a possible model railway layout.
The idea is of a small run-down urban terminus, which to be honest doesn't warrant enough traffic to stay open. But it's the only station left in the town and stays open because of the traffic every other Saturday, with it being close to the town's football stadium.
And then I wondered whether the powers-that-be would take that into consideration when planning to close a line or withdraw services?
Mansfield famously did not have a station for many years, despite having a Football League club, and I'm sure there must be other stadia that have had their local line or station shut.
