I've largely ignored this thread as inviting silly nonsense, but then... here we go:
India has more railway enthusiasts per cycle rickshaw driver than any other country in the world.
EMR should apply for permission from DfT to restore one train (HST or modern equivalent) per day each way between St Pancras and Glasgow and Edinburgh, named, respectively, The Thames-Clyde Express and The Waverley. (The latter, of course, would have to run via Carstairs, but would also include a return trip on the re-opened bit of the Waverley on SuO.)
EMR could argue that they've researched the markets (primarily on RailUK forums) and therefore have solid evidence of their commercial passenger potential.
The Settle and Carlisle should be four-tracked where reasonaly possible, brought up to a line speed of 90 mph and tunnels rebuilt as necessary to be cleared to take the largest containers.
Richard Beeching faked his university degree.
He also regularly bunked Thornaby and Newport depots when employed by ICI on Teeside, and thereby cleared his J27s and Q6s. He was very proud of that, but kept it secret when at 222 Marylebone Rd.
Croatia has the least number of railway enthusiasts in the world relative to the length of its coastline.
New loops should be installed on the Heart of Wales line at Pantyfynnon and Llanbister Rd stations to allow for an improved service and give the timetable more resilience.
The SAR Class 25NC 4-8-4 at the Bucks Rail Centre (or wherever it may be now) should be regauged to 4' 8 1/2" and cleared to run on a section of the former GC railway (which was built to Berne gauge in any case to allow through travel to the Continent).
A new service of 1Tp2hr should be introduced from Carmarthen to Birmingham via the Swansea District and Worcester Shrub Hill.
New threads on restoring the Aberystwyth to Carmarthen and Dumfries to Stranraer lines may only be published if the OP pays £500 to subsidise the next five RailUK meet-ups.
However, the branch line from Penrith to Keswick should be reopened as there is huge demand for this in the three summer months.
I actually believe in one of the statements above. Maybe two. Hmmm, maybe even three.
