[Trivia] Lines with Limited services

[03_179]

Evening all,

Before my eyes close for the night I hope the more knowledgeable maybe able to help me.

I'm aware that the Brigg line is one a day.
The Heysham Port/Harbour line is one a day.
The Market Rasen line has a limited service.

What other lines have limited passenger services?
This isn't stations but the whole line.

Over to you guys.
Thanks in advance I'm hitting the sack now.
Night.

The Market Rasen line has a limited service.

I thought the line through Market Rasen had a two-hourly service throughout the day.

I wouldn't say Lincoln - Market Rasen - Barnetby is limited, roughly 2 hourly. I suspect you are thinking of the line via Brigg which has one return trip a day.

Knottingley - Goole with 3 trains a day (2 towards Leeds, 1 for Goole). Helsby - Ellesmere Port (2 a day in each direction when not cancelled)

Does the PSUL link to their current (2023) pdf listing work? N.B. Seems o.k. for previous years.

Wrexham - Bidston has a pretty much unusable service…!

 

[NSE]

The Stockport - Stalybridge line

 

[Class 170101]

Heart of Wales line may come into this category. Although booked a train every 4 hours or so, cancellations are frequent!

 

[Parallel]

Yeovil Junction to Yeovil Pen Mill only gets a few trains a day but it’s not really a whole line - rather just a curve.

The Swansea District Line is longer and only gets a couple of trains a day - mainly Fishguard Harbour boat trains from memory. It branches off just west of Briton Ferry station and re-joins the bottom of the Heart of Wales line just north of Llangennech.

 

[Cach17]

The curve of track connecting Minster and Sandwich in Kent. One Faversham to Ashford and Dover to Faversham train per day (both via Deal) that reverse at Minster.

 

[Acfb]

I don't know if the South Suburban Line in Edinburgh still has any timetabled services to Motherwell or if it's just used very rarely for diverts.

 

[NSE]

Are we including curves? Or full fledged lines? Cause there’s far, far more curves

 

[Trainguy34]

The curve of track connecting Minster and Sandwich in Kent. One Faversham to Ashford and Dover to Faversham train per day (both via Deal) that reverse at Minster.

Or, ironically, a service each way hourly today due to engineering works.
