2012, Graeme Wall remarked:
I believe bus replacement services have designated "bus stops",

No, they just stop on a country road somewhere near the station.

They stop at the point designated by the Train operating Company. This
is the only point approved by the insurance company.

Is the insurance thing really true, or is it like the common idea that
you should never clear snow off a path or give someone first aid? ISTR
that the often quoted idea that if a someone who hasn't bought a ticket
is killed then the transport company and/or its insurers can have no
liability is not actually true.

Is there any exemption if something unusual happens - the bus station
burns down, the bus conks out, a mad axe-murderer gets on-board?
