Local Train Lines

[NORMANTHEDOG]

I have today had to make a couple of short journeys on a local train line in the country,i was amazed and amused to find that all the stops along the line,about 8,were all request stops.IF YOU WANT TO GET OFF YOU HAVE TO LET THE DRIVER KNOW,AND IF YOU WANT TO GET ON YOU HAVE TO HOLD YOUR HAND OUT,VERY MUCH LIKE A BUS,ARE ALL THE LOCAL COUNTRY LINES LIKE THIS?

not all, no, but there are lines where little-used stations are operated on a request basis - cambrian coast line, barnstaple line, cumbrian coast line and several cornish branches spring to mind.
