Lonely UK bus stops

[DrLeftover]

The Magazine recently visited an isolated, slate-roofed shelter in rural Cumbria and asked whether it was the UK's loneliest bus stop. A number of readers suggested even more solitary alternatives.

Serving the village of Milburn in the Eden Valley, England's most sparsely populated area, the Cumbrian stop might see "the odd walker in summer, but nobody now", according to one driver. But locals suggested it might be used by as many as six or seven passengers a week.

But it faces stiff competition. Readers of the Magazine were quick to highlight stops which no bus would deign to visit, and others where a village location would be considered lavish.

A selection of their nominations is below.

This bus stop is made for sheep not for visitors. So, it is lonely.
