What about urbanisation? Near where I live 20 years ago there was huge green space. Now it's all concrete, buildings and roads. Urbanised area is much more warm. Aren't those stations getting closer (without moving) to urban areas over time - just because urban areas tend to expand? What about new stations? Are they being setup in remote areas only?
