[ValleyLines142]

As far as I am aware Cheltenham Spa still has a VERY limited LM service

Apparently the daily Worcester-Gloucester service was discontinued from the start of the December 2009 timetable due to low passenger usage

Reddish South also has one of most limited services in the country, and is one station along from Denton.

Todmorden and Burnley Manchester Road were linked by a branch line built in 1849 (and doubled in 1860) by the Manchester and Leeds Railway.
