Fenchurch Street to Leigh-on- Sea must be a contender. Six trains per hour off peak, 144 per day in total (according to thetrainline)

Big Country's first hit, Fields of Fire, was described by Stuart Adamson as being about "thoughts, images from a steam train " and the video features a steam train and the band playing on it.

Fishguard Harbour. Surely everyone using it is either getting on or off the boat to Ireland.

There certainly was. We had a family holiday to the Butlin's at Ayr in the late 70s when I was 8 or 9. Got on at Euston, got off on the Ayrshire coast. Wish I could remember the stopping pattern, the only one I remember is Oxenholm because I'd never heard of it before, I also don't think it was...

Expansion of Stanstead Airport to include an additional runway. As part of the project a high speed rail link to be built to Fenchurch Street with a single intermediate station at Canary Wharf. Proposed marketing slogan "Touchdown to Tower in less than an hour"

Thanks for the help. I'll go with buying an off peak return when I land (at about 5pm, take off when I leave is a similar time).
