I sometimes wonder what would happen if one of the larger heritage lines actually went out of business?
We could well see this happen at some point, so maybe it’s worth considering?
Would a different consortium consider buying it from the receivers?
Would it be split up and the station sites sold for development, trackbed for farm land, or even village road bypasses perhaps?
We haven’t seen it happen yet, but it could happen, and how far would a local council go to financially assist if things got really bad on one of their important local tourist attractions?
What do others think?
