Considering the various threads on some hopelessly optimistic reopenings, lost lines and the like, I'm surprised not to have seen more talk about this line and it's 'remainderisation" (if I can use that word).
I mean, the line EXISTS, and it wouldn't, presumably, cost anything in capital investment to run more trains down it. Do none of the passenger executives not believe there are passengers willing to use it? Could it be used as a route for some new service (how about Nottingham - Middlebrough/Durham Coast via Pontefract)? Or is it more capacity problems at Sheffield/York than no potential demand?
