You see what you've done now, don't you? Each time you visit a least used station, someone will organise a group to go there so that next year it's not the least used station. So you'll have to come back next year to visit what is then the least used station. You've just made this project infinite!
I saw this programme once..there was a journalist reporting from an obscure station in the middle of the nowhere, with the train in the background. The reporter was saying "..and this is the only train that runs from here, once a week.." As he's talking to the camera, the train starts to pull out. The reporter looks over his shoulder and says "Oh, **** !"...Then there's a blurred jerky shot, as the whole crew run after the train ! :D
For some reason I'm always hyperaware that you have to go into/over to someplace a first time to put down the camera so you can film yourself going over the second time.
On most help points, the Information button connects to National Rail Enquiries which is outsourced to India, and the Emergency button connects to the train operator's control room.
It's amazing that such an unused station is still serviced by a train every day, while Houston in the US shockingly only has 3 trains going to it per week
Miren Summers The US is built for the automobile, both by city planning and, according to stereotypes, biologically. There’s low demand for passenger rail. I believe that should change. US has the best rails in the world in my opinion.
Very well done video, including the way Coombe Junction works, a brief glimpse of Moorswater Viaduct and some locals. Not much has changed about it since I was there as a boy in the 1970s and it's comforting to see that. If I missed the school bus home (me? Detention? Of course not...) I would walk all the way from school to Liskeard Station and wait (and wait) for the Looe train and get off at St. Keyne (probably only marginally busier than Coombe) and walk home (Trewidland). If memory serves, the cross-country course we used to do took us all the way down the hill from town to Moorswater and almost under the viaduct. Sorry for the rambling, enjoyed your vignette.
That was a funny video. I also rember walking under the viaduct when i was young, probably in 2002 or 2003 and that gate at 9:55 in the video. If I rember correctly i was lost with my dad looking for my sister & mom, who had also got lost. We walked around in circles for hours. I rember 2 large 5 or 7 inch diameter blue pipes running alongside the track which were carrying water. Its a very strong memory....but where did those pipes lead? I never found out!
The freight train that goes past Coombe Jcn Halt also makes a return journey on Thursday. It passes Devonport station at about 4pm, just before my train
I live in the USA, and I’ll tell you, we have buses, but trains are for going long distances, like, Seattle to San Francisco. We don’t have disused stations, at least on the West Coast, cause they are all used, all the time. The difference is that the trains stop at every station once a week, at most, but they go the entire distance of Britain a couple times a week. But closer in to individual cities, they have their own mass transit, and have almost no least used stations. The least used have like 2 trips to them at maximum on the weekends, 8 or more on the week days. Lovely video, makes me want to move to the UK even more...
I had already seen this video a couple of years ago but got reminisced when I read an article on the cement factory line in Cornwall daily yesterday. I will be joining UCL this September, so looking forward to travelling to Coombe Junction, one of the inspirational least used stations.
I remember years ago I took the looe train and always remember a stop near a cottage and the train stopped and the guard jumped off and delivered eggs and some newspapers to the cottage ....
This station could easily get a more regular service as the train has to slow down all the time when it changes direction. It can only take an extra minute to travel an extra fifty metres and turn around at the station
Great video. This area was a curiosity for me as I was planning my summer holiday in England and using Network Rail's map to plan out my train trips. The railway configuration looked funny on that map. And so I was quite excited to see this rail line from the tall viaduct on my train from Penzance to London!
How come British transportation workers are so damn friendly? Here in America if to try to talk to a person working for the transportation department, he'll arrest you for "Assault"
tstanton_ _ I know this was commented a long time ago, but with British Transport, one of the biggest appealing factors is how friendly the workers are, this is mostly because the people who are working in the positions have some sort of love or passion for the Railway or for helping people with their journeys. It’s frankly one of the best things about Britain, no matter what station you’re at nearly all the workers are friendly. I remember while waiting for a train back to London from Norwich I was having a cigarette and began chatting to some of the station workers. All lovely people!
I am sure that you have thought of this already, but just in case... Could you do the Most used station in... county at the same time as these least used ones?
I wanted to comment on the Angel Road station. I had to use it three or four times, apparently it is in an area very popular with companies to have warehouses and their flagsips ,so every time I went it was because of job interviews. The last time I was there it was freezing and raining so heavily! No toilets, nowhere to buy cofee, nobody there -- just trains that flash by without stopping. A horrendous crappy station. I don't understand why trains do not even stop there... it's in a quite a popular area in London. Many people would use it if they could. And the information point worked exactly like the one at Coombe Junction: nobody was there.
We live within walking distance of the least used station in Melbourne Australia -- Tecom station on the Belgrave line (which turns into the Puffing Billy steam line). We do our best to get its numbers up especially around MIFF -- film festival time. MIFF is the second oldest film festival in the world and it started in Olinda which is up our way. Terry
I actually used Coombe Junction station twice when on holiday in the late nineties. It was November (I think) and my ex wife and I were off to St. Ives for the day to see the Tate. We had to rise before dawn and walk from the cottage that we were renting to the station. In the distance an owl was hooting and nothing else moved until the train did. It was a little other worldly being so deserted especially for a Londoner. We did of course use it on the second occasion to return. It was no less basic than Talybont station on the Cambrian coast line which I used in the early eighties and a good deal cleaner.
btw, the noise behind the wall along this tiny station comes from the Devon & Cornwall Wools factory installed just between the tracks and the road to Liskeard road allowing to walk back straight to Liskeard station in just a few minutes!
Ugh those "Help" Points. I'm disabled, and we came back from Tenerife to Heathrow, we had help booked to meet us at the Gate, which was miles away from anywhere. Well, it didn't turn up. We got kicked off the plane and left there alone. Fortunately they did actually bring my mobility scooter up to the gate and our first point of call was one of those Help Points. Which nobody answered. So we somehow managed to get the scooter onto the train to the luggage carousels. NIGHTMARE. A woman in Border Control helped us the rest of the way, as she had finished her shift. Got out of the airport 3 hours late.
I like seeing the grass growing between the tracks! If you really want to see that in a big way, go to the “train featuring channel”, which is based in the Philippines. The concept of gravel around the tracks does not seem to have caught on there! It’s grass between the tracks, and palm trees reaching out all around.
I've crossed that level crossing. It leads to a private house/care home. The crossing phone connected me straight to the Liskeard Signal Box and the signal operator asked me how long I needed to cross. I told him 'a minute' and that was that. Same on the return crossing. So, in the unlikely event of a real emergency, I would suggest you forget the 'please wait' call point and pick up the crossing phone.
Interesting to see you at Liskeard - the hardest town in Cornwall - at least that is what one guy told us who was going to Liskeard for a drink and to spend his evening arm wrestling!
I've been watching the least used station series as well as all the stations. I'm thinking of visiting the UK next spring and doing all the least used and most used stations in each county. who wants to go?
Btw, a single-car 153 unit as seen here on the Looe Branch was what they used to use on the Stourbridge Town shuttle before the Party People Moved started. What I didn't realise until looking at one of the links you've supplied here Geoff, was that there was a train on this branch in London Midland livery, (presumably with their green moquette seats inside), very probably the one displaced from the Stourbridge service!!
Wouldn't surprise me if Lelant Saltings now became the least used station in Cornwall. Park and Ride is now at St Erth and the Saltings now has one train a day in each direction.
@@elizabethmh_465 Yes well it's like this: The Saltings (disgraceful edifice and concrete monstrosity, spits on the floor) was the Park and Ride Station for St . Ives. Now, There is a much better and appropriate Park and Ride facility at St Erth. And so now, there is just the single return journey each day at Lelant Saltings and now (Trumpet Sounds) my Home Station of Lelant now gets more listed stops each day although it is still (Geoff Please note) a Request Stop!!!! Looking forward to the Request Stop video Geoff!
Please keep these videos coming. They really do add a bit of sparkle to any day. Hope the evening at the museum went well, wish I could of flown over and taken it in.Any chance that a video of the talk will ever pop up?
Hi Geoff. Love the video (and all the stations). When you do Combe in Oxfordshire I would be happy to come too (as that is my local lest used station).
You should try Lelant Halt on the St Ives branch line. I went backwards and forwards twice and discovered it is no longer used and so had to walk from Lelant Saltings to start my walk.
I suppose that if you don't want folk to use any railway station all you have to finish restrict the service back to a Parliamentary service.About twenty plus such situations exist here in the UK.Thanks for making my day.☺
Geoff, just wanted to say love your videos (since I not on twitter). Also, not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but if you look at the viaduct on Google Maps, you can see supports for the previous viaduct (parts of 7 of them still visible). Random guy in USA...
Omg I actually thought that that was it until I watched until 5:53 where you went out of the gate, I was about to say "Now what are they gonna do?" :L And this is really interesting to watch, I go to Cornwall ever year on holiday and I didn't realise that there were unused stations like this one!
So from the video there is a factory right next to the station. But the trains aren't timed to make it suitable for anyone working there to use the train to get to work. A missed opportunity surely?

These videos are really helping me get through a bad time. You two look very happy together,remember the good days if you ever hit some bad ones

There is a video of a DMU that looks very old was at that station and it was being filmed. I think it is a train from late 50's !
Geoff, every time someone asks for a certain video in the comments section, I'm now looking forward to your 'Please wait' response.
watch till the very very end of the video it responds
To be honest the over the top enthusiasm is infectious.

Quote of the day : please wait
Please wait
After 3 years: Please wait
You should do another London's lost railways with the North Woolwich to Stratford part of the North London line Geoff
Project Blackwood technically, most of that line is not lost to railway use.
i guess so but it would be a good way to show the crossrail works in Copenhagen tunnel if he ever gets invited there
Project Blackwood Abbey Wood branch is pretty much finished now. The BBC Crossrail documentary did have an episode on the tunnel restoration.
ah cool, I'll have to have a look at that :D
Very entertaining. We go to Cornwall every year and it’s nice to see a different part of Cornwall

Wish I could have met you guys when you came down!
Great video Most enjoyable! I remember going there when the trains were steam hauled!
This was a charming little station.
I once accidentally flushed a train toilet as we pulled into Liskeard. 😳 It feels good to confess that faux pas!
You should try Lelant Halt on the St Ives branch line. I went backwards and forwards twice and discovered it is no longer used and so had to walk from Lelant Saltings to start my walk.
Yay my local county! Thanks Geoff :D
Nerdy Productionz yay kernow!!!!
NO bin! but a beautiful and picturesque location. Birds plants and a bailing twine gate latch
Idk why but I keep listening and watching “please wait”... “I’m waiting” over and over again 😂😂😂
Geoff I got off at Coombs Junction Halt
Two years of "please wait"
Four passengers a month use this station and I can see that these people are trying to make it more popular so there must be less than that.

I rode that train in 1977 from Liskeard to Looe when I m sure there was a conductor selling tickets on board
St James Park in Exeter is a very well used station and doesn't have a bike rack, which surprised me. But then, it never did....
congrats on having woods at all
I love that line from Liskeard to Looe. use it to visit Polperro
a least used station that have more passengers annually but looks like an abandoned station
Reminds me of that joke by Jethro about the train not stopping and just slowing down to let people get off by running.
from the back it looks like an US schoolbus... on rails. ;)
