@apolaine @breadandcircuses I know, there are numerous such closed branch lines around here, including one that's now a heritage line. There's no doubt many of them should've been saved, and we'd be in a lot better position now had they been. But even then the lines didn't go everywhere and the routes weren't always that useful for passengers, given most were built with freight in mind. And we are where we are now: the lines would be prohibitively expensive to reopen and most have been built on.
