Direct services with low passenger numbers

I wonder how many people actually use heavy rail from Edinburgh to Haymarket?

I did, once! Albeit back in 1975 when spotting at Waverley and wanting to bunk Haymarket Depot.....

Anyone coming to Haymarket from the south on a train that doesn’t run through?

Yes, probably - indeed, thinking about it that was the last time I used Haymarket myself. I was thinking more of single EDB-HYM journeys without a connection off other trains.

Saltmarshe to Broomfleet.

Saltmarshe to Broomfleet.

Not many will so that, but there must surely be a few. It's only a couple of stops along the line from one station to the other, but is over six miles, so maybe too far to walk.

Two stations which are in the middle of nowhere and don't get that many calls a day

I suspect there won't be any tickets sold for Arram to Wressle (0755 Bridlington to York)

I have done it a few times myself - the missus (mobility impaired) coming north on a Transpennine and me needing to help her off at EDB. Those extra few minutes through Princes Street Gardens are very useful for locating her/luggage/inevitable shopping etc....

I did Morpeth to Salisbury in 2019 which I thought might be unique but on checking on Railway Data website https://www.railwaydata.co.uk/odm/gbr/?year=1920&string_out=Morpeth+[7680]&dest=all&ord=H there were 9 others

There must be plenty of adjacent station pairs in urban areas where the only people getting on at one and baling at the next are cranks scratching units/stations.

Warrington West to Sankey would fit.

Warrington West to Sankey would fit.

Only one direct service per day (SuX) each way between these two stations. Anyone able to look at the data to see just how low WAW->SNK patronage seemingly is?

Sankey to Warrington West is 6 per year. Railwaydata.co.uk doesn't allow searching for recently opened stations and railalefan.co.uk only shows the 100 most common flows from each station, so I can't see if it's the same the other way around.

Who on earth is taking those services? It's about 500m walk.

Like I said up thread, cranks.

Newer stations – East Linton, Reston, Tottenham Court Road, Brent Cross West and Barking Riverside, at least – aren't showing up on the database for me.

FYI Okehampton is not appearing in the origin station list - old look-up table perhaps?

Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated
Currently in the process of updating the ODM system so that it includes passenger loadings per train. Will make sure new stations are included with the update.
