Parliamentary Constituency Statistics

To help comment to / inform our MP^▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) ...

There are FOUR passenger railways running thought his constituency
One has two stations on it
One has one station on it
One has no stations on it but there is an active campaign for one
One has no stations on it and there unlikely to be any added

Freight runs through on the various lines but there are no freight depots
I don't think there's a single point or crossover either
All schedule passenger trains are run by GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) these days

Do any members know of any other constituency in the South West with as many sections of disconnected railway?

Hmm. 

North Somerset has one (realistic) disconnected railway - Bristol to Portishead, via Ashton Gate and Pill.  Our own new MP^▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) here, Sadik Al-Hassan (Labour) (who I have met ) is a strong supporter of that particular reopening.

(I've excluded Clevedon and Cheddar onwards from Yatton from the statistics, as they are both really not realistic. )
