The Leeds-Settle-Carlisle railway 'boasts some of the least used and remote railway stations in the country - and the highest. Its trains are sometimes overcrowded and at other times empty - or so it may seem.
Today snow-plough driver Thomas Beresford was at remote Ribblehead station at 0713 and filmed the two passengers boarding the train. The train will be a life line for them, the only link to the outside world and employment probably. By the time it gets to its destination, Leeds, it will be packed. Be sure to turn your sound on and to shiver.

Note that the second passenger has just arrived by car and has to run for the train. Fear not though the train waits for its scheduled departure time before moving off. Trains can only run on time or late - never, ever, early.
