    Sandhills

    Trivia: What are the quirkiest railway stations in Britain?

    Ince and Elton and Stanlow and Thornton are both a bit quirky, hardly any service and what there is is often cancelled. At Stanlow you really feel you should not have got off here, a station within a restricted area.
