Passengers at Britain's loneliest station enjoy Bake Off star's mince pies

Bake Off star Ian Cumming and his mince pies

Britain's loneliest railway station, Shippea Hill near Ely, saw a bit of a rush of passengers this morning - and it was all down to Bake Off star Ian Cumming.

Normally Shippea Hill sees only 12 passengers a year but Ian baked a 100 mince pies to hand out to passengers on the 7am train to Cambridge. Sixteen passengers, more than a year's worth, turned up to sample them.
