I checked out Essex’s quietest station, and it felt eerily deserted, like a movie set. Only a handful of folks use it daily, making it unique.
White Notley: This station is a real hidden gem. Most Essex stations are bustling, but not this one. It’s like stepping into a different world.
When I heard it was the quietest station in Essex, I had to see it. Only about 20 people use it daily. That’s just wild!
It’s tucked away down a narrow lane, far from the hustle and bustle. The nearest village is a short walk away, adding to its charm.
Honestly, I expected it to be empty, but it was even quieter than I thought. Trains come every hour, but I saw one where no one got on or off. It felt surreal.
Essex is usually a popular spot, thanks to its transport links. Many folks commute to London, but they also want a peaceful place to live.
White Notley has decent train services, and Greater Anglia is known for being on time. It’s a good option for those who want to escape the city.
The first train to London leaves early, but you have to change at Witham. It’s a bit of a trek, but the scenery is lovely.
The village itself is quaint, with winding roads and a cozy pub at the center. The lack of parking might explain why not many people use the station.
There’s a small shelter to keep you dry, and some trees provide a bit of wind protection. But don’t expect to chat with anyone while you wait.
As I stood there, I hoped to see someone else. But when the train came, it stopped without anyone getting on or off. Just me again.
In the end, it makes sense why it’s the quietest station. The village isn’t big, with a population of around 500. If you love quaint spots, it’s worth a visit!
