Freight on the Settle-Carlisle

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know approximately how many freight trains run in each direction, every week on the settle & carlisle line?

I was thinking of going on holiday & staying at the cottage on Long Marton station platform for a week, but i'm not sure if it's worth it.

I know there are about 6 DMU's per day, but wondered if it was really worth a weeks stay? Normally I spend a week at Starcross but discovered this holiday cottage right on the disused platform.

If somebody could give me a 'ball park' figure as to how many freight trains pass up and down in a week, I would be most grateful!

This is the holiday cottage in question: http://www.longmartonstation.fsnet.co.uk/
