Suppose, for a minute, that you were in charge of the Reshaping of British Railways.
Which lines would you retain, which would you close, and which stops would be cut out?
People on this forum say, very often on threads discussing closed routes (e.g. Carlisle-Hawick), that it 'shouldn't have closed, but shouldn't be reopened now'. So I wonder what our network would look like if we kept open all those lines that we 'shouldn't have closed', and closed some of those with possibly more dubious futures ahead of them instead?
