Remote Stations Challenge -Thorpe Culvert

[Mutant Lemming]

I've noticed a few conurbation networks in challenges but wondered if there had been a remote stations challenge ? How many request halts with less than 5000 passengers per year could be done in a day ? Maybe it could be done by regions or rover areas.

Places like Thorpe Culvert for instance...

Might help raise the profile of some of these stations so they get the odd mention on here.

You can get 2 in less than 5 minutes on a Friday on a South Pennines day ranger and a bus ticket.
Reddish South and Denton anyone??

How about Yetminster and Chetnole ?

Very easy to get two on the same line, maybe even three (even if it means a 7 hour wait at a rainswept Thorpe Culvert for the next train) but four or five may prove a little more tricky. Need to find that station usage chart and define which stations would classify as lightly used and remote (stations like the St.Budeaux ones and Peartree are really within city boundaries).

How about the Heart of Wales line?

Having done a station bash in Yorkshire and surrounds earlier in the year, it can be quite feasable when the stations are nearby and you're prepared to walk. I did Pontefract Baghill - Tanshelf, Gainsborough Central - Lea Road, Howden -Eastrington, Hessle - Ferriby, Harrogate - Starbeck, South Milford - Sherburn-in-Elmet, Newcastle - Manors and Gargrave - Skipton. While most of these are well used (so not quite meeting the OP), it does make it possible.

Havenhouse to Thorpe Culvert is about 3 miles which can be covered in about an hour, the time between 16:11 arrival at Havenhouse, to the 17:43 from Thorpe culvert should give enough time to walk between both.

...unless you detour to Bateman's at Wainfleet.
(I recommned the Chocolate Digestive Biscuit ale - you don't think it will work as a concept but...)

That sorts out Havenhouse and Thorpe Culvert but could you manage Shippea Hill and Lakenheath in the same day ?

Yes, Saturday only. 07:25 Shippea Hill, 10:27 Lakenheath, 7.5 miles in 3 hours, no problem, or if it is, there's always the 16:40 from Lakenheath
