So - what else does a railway station with advertised footfall of <100 bring to the area, or perhaps more accurately what is lost by its closure/removal?
Is there some sort of subsidy the local council receive? I can't imagine why there would be public outcry really as surely the "Well you obviously aren't using it" / "Use it or lose it" cards would be played?
I understand there's a formal closure procedure to go through - is that the ToC or a National Rail who do this - be interested in the economics of keeping a station open and serving it twice a week v closing it down.
