The beauty of the abandoned bus stops of the United Kingdom

Recently, the News Magazine of the BBC visited one of the abandoned bus stops of rural Cumbria zonal and asked readers if they considered that that was the nearest abandoned the United Kingdom.

This stop serves the village of Milburn, in Eden Valley, the location of the United Kingdom that has the more sparse population and is utilized by about six to seven passengers per week.

Several readers responded to the challenge of the BBC and suggested alternatives even more abandoned than this stop of Cumbria.

7. removal of Cape Wrath, Scotland

This bus stop is not ticked. It's just a stopover of minibuses that are the rails of Cape Wrath, the Northwestern most point of Britain.

There is no regular schedule in passing and using these minibuses is only for tourist purposes and made with markup.
