Berney Arms - Least Used Station in Britain 2019

The new 2019/20 statistics have just been released and it shows that Berney Arms in Norfolk only had 42 passengers making it the new least used station in the whole of Britain.

Berney Arms was actually closed for 15 months due to Network Rail works replacing manual crossing gates in the area with automated ones. It reopened on Monday 24th February 2020, meaning that the accouting period for this years figures only lasted 52 days until it ended on the 31st March 2020.

Arguably therefore (42 divided by 52) it means that it averaged 0..8 passengers per day. Berney Arms normally gets around 1,000 passengers a year.

Have a look at the Facebook for page for Sheila and her books, and the good news that a pub/Bistro is returning next year!
