I've been on replacement buses where the driver has asked if anyone
does actually wants to go to a particular station itself, or can the
bus drop off on the main road/village centre/etc to save a slow trip
along a narrow dead-end lane to the station and back.

Hopefully on a set down only service, or the driver knew by other means
no-one was waiting at the station?

It's one in the middle of the closed section so the only rail related
access is by the replacement bus.

Someone living nearby could have walked to the station in order to catch
the 'train' somewhere.
