Shippea Hill station is on one side an useless station, with only one train a day. It belongs to the least used train station in the world. On the other side it is an very interseting and special station. There is nothing near this station. The really only thing you can really do is explore the area on foot. There is no bus connection, so your best bet is walking back to Elly or up north. Or wait for the other train, but that train will arrive 24 hours later.

Least used station in Britain. I wonder why...

I am very upset to announce that Shippea Hill is now not the least used station. However, during my wait at Shippea Hill station for the Class 170 to take me back to Norwich, I was able to use Shippea Hill's outstanding amenities. I enjoyed a good 2-3 minutes sitting in the shelter watch cars go across the level crossing. Then, I had a nice look at the station information boards, and found out that some man has the lucky job of being Shippea Hill's station manager. Finally, the help point. I was lucky enough to go through to an Irish man who told me that my train would be 1 minute delayed. I would definitely return to Shippea Hill, but we all need to go to Teeside Airport and Barry Links first, so Shippea Hill might once again receive its prized status.

A quite station if you don't count the road traffic! Shippea Hill's original signal box still stands, but since automatic level crossing gates were installed a few years ago this signal box has remained empty since. None of the less, it makes for a unique trip in the Burnt Fen and for train enthusiasts alike. ( I was not very happy when the 19:27 on Saturday was cancelled though! ) Shippea Hill is an amazing station but a lot of road noise does ruin the stations lovely uniqueness and rural location on which it sits.

Very weird place. The least used station in the UK. Only one train a day stops here, so you have a long walk to Little Port. It is even so strange, but it is and fun because it is so weird.
