After the horn of the industrial revolution sounded, many industries came into being. For example, the transportation industry is of great significance to the agriculture, industry, and service industries.

In the initial stage, the train undoubtedly played an extremely important role.

The railway station is undoubtedly the place where the train stops, and it also plays an important role in the change of the flow of people and goods.

With the changes of the times, modern transportation methods have become more and more diversified. The railway stations of the past seem to have become increasingly out of touch, and outages seem to be their common fate.

However, in the UK, there is one of the most deserted railway stations in the world. There are only 12 people in the train station every year. Even so, it is still operating normally, and this railway station is the "East Cambridgeshire Railway Station".

East Cambridgeshire Railway Station is located in a small town in England. It is reported that the history of this railway station can be traced back to more than 170 years ago when the population of the town was quite large.

The small town of Cambridgeshire also has its own advantages. Relying on these advantages, the local area has also established its own railway station to transport people and goods. This railway station is the East Cambridgeshire Railway Station.

Nowadays, the East Cambridgeshire Railway Station is quite deserted, and there is basically no traffic. It is reported that currently it only takes 12 people a year. The operation of a railway station is also a business. The more times it operates, the better its business will be, but it can be said to be very bleak today.

So why hasn't this train station closed yet?

There are three main reasons for this.

1. In order to avoid unnecessary manpower and material resources

Although the train station has a small flow of people, its labor operation cost is not very high.

After a year, these costs can be barely maintained. To stop it completely, at this time, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive investigation in accordance with the regulations, so as to decide whether to stop the operation. This process requires sufficient manpower and material resources.

2. To serve the masses

Although the train station is very deserted, it still persists in the work of transportation. Even if there are only a dozen people in the town traveling, the operator will not refuse them. In more developed countries, this high level of service is quite common, and they pay attention to individual feelings.

If the train station is suddenly closed, the people in the town will even complain to the operator.

3. There are benefits to continuing to operate train stations

Although the East Cambridgeshire Railway Station is very old, it can still continue to operate. The train operation itself is convenient for the travel of local people. Perhaps these people are very few, but convenience does exist.

In addition, the operating railway station is naturally beneficial to the operators, because it can provide them with employment opportunities. Many operators have worked in the station for a long time and have decades of service experience. If the station is out of service at this time, it will face unemployment.

You know, they are already old at this time. In addition, the railway station not only transports people, but also transports goods, and normal operation is also conducive to the movement of goods.

In fact, the original role of the East Cambridgeshire Railway Station was mainly reflected in the movement of goods.

Although the industrial revolution was going on vigorously in the UK at that time, East Cambridge was famous for its agriculture, and many agricultural products were produced here.

Their appearance has undoubtedly brought a huge flow of goods to the railway station, and thus the work of the flow of people has been driven by the way.
