Mystery Train Radio

This is one of the quieter entries in the United Kingdom's listing, at 390 of 466. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

One recorded open in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Mystery Train Radio shares its leading tag, americana, with one other United Kingdom entry. Across every country the directory has 17 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for the United Kingdom. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Where the United Kingdom's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

Its audio comes from streamer.radio.co. Two other stations in the United Kingdom stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
