For a while GNE ran a service from Concord to Stephenson Industrial Estate and back to Concord as service number 982 on early mornings and late afternoons to compensate for the loss of that part of the route. The journey was 5 minutes from Concord to Stephenson. I'm not sure if this would count as it only ran Monday to Friday, it consisted of only 7 runs and was effectively a workers special. The service was scrapped after about a year as it was little used.

The dreaded 9 prefix. 

You just know when that's used by GNE, it's barely going to last 5mins.
