There was a time when all trains (4/hr) were met by an electric bus. The service was free and well used. It was cancelled as a cost cutting measure and service buses routed via the station. This was also cancelled as a cost cutting measure. I travelled to work via bus and train when memsahib wanted the car. Sadly this stopped many moons ago. The point is, I was not the only passenger. The system worked. This was in the days of 600,000 pax/yr.
