UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

Looking at your screenshots and comparing with the real thing.. you certainly weren't over-doing it when you said 'Most remote'.. :eek:

I've never even heard of that station until now..
 
Maybe I overdid it a little saying most remotest, with it having a pub nearby but still ranked up there on the web as one of the 'most remotest' After visiting that station in person it feels the most remotest as you have to walk quite some distance from the nearest road to reach it:)

Most remotest [sic] station in Britain.

Hmm. One of the most remote, granted, but there are other rivals for the title.

Berney Arms is three and three quarters of a mile in one direction and four in the other from the next stations along the line, but the obvious contender, Corrour/Coire Odhar in the Scottish Highlands, is further still from its neighbouring stations, which are respectively seven and a quarter and ten miles distant. It also has no road access, with the nearest being ten miles away. There's no nearby river access either, and no settlements close by, let alone a town as big as Great Yarmouth - which is a mere two or three miles from Berney Arms as the crow flies - just the vast empty expanses of Rannoch Moor.

Corrour definitely wins one crown anyway, though, since it's the highest mainline station in the UK.

To join in the discussion,

Dent Station is the highest mainline station in England at 1,150 feet above sea level. ... best known properties on one of the world's most scenic railway
journeys.

Settle and Carlisle for those who don't know.

Dent station is also 4 miles from Dent itself! It was a bit of a MR habit that wasn't it?

A lady was travelling to Dent, a station on the famous Settle to Carlisle railway in the UK. On arrival at Dent, she alighted and seeing nothing but countryside around her asked the guard "Where is the village of Dent?" the guard replied that is about 3 miles away, down the hill. The lady then asked "wouldn't it have been better to build the station near the village?" to which the guard replied, " Yes madam, but we thought it better to build it near the railway."
