Dent station on the Settle-Carlisle line is notoriously several miles from Dent village. At the opening ceremony for the line, somebody asked the engineer in charge "Why didn't you put Dent station nearer the village?". He is reputed to have replied, "I considered it more important to put it near the railway."
