Redbridge, Millbrook and Beaulieu Rd are the three locally, they each
just have a permit machine, but it is a new style by S&B, not the
familiar NSE red painted device.

Makes sense I suppose, there can't be a lot of traffic at those stations.
I'm always surprised that Beaulieu Road is still open IIRC even the local
pub/hotel has shut.

It's quite unusual in having a far better service on Sundays than on Mon -
Sat.

People going for a walk in the forest perhaps.

A feature it shares with the Norfolk Broads stations of Berney Arms and
Buckenham. Berney Arms has two trains eachj way Mondays to Saturdays, but 4
or 5 on Sundays, while Buckenham now seems to have no service Mondays to
Fridays, one each way on Saturdays, but 3 or 4 on Sundays.
