Shouldn't think so. Wasn't re-opened until March 2013, so not 20th century.Has the reinstated link between Kingscote and East Grinstead on the Bluebell been mentioned?
I thought the stub to access Drax was ex Hull and Barnsley?Another late line is the Selby to Goole railway opened in 1910, closed in 1964 though a small part is used for access to Drax power station and a long siding existed from the Selby to Doncaster line to near the former bridge over the A1041. (A lone semaphore signal remained at the eastern end of this siding for many years.)

Strictly speaking, this was the rebuilding of a line that was closed around the time of the First World War. What amazes me is that a disused trackbed in inner London lasted nearly a century without being built upon.Also from Surrey Quays, the link line to Queens Road, Peckham, completing the route to Clapham Junction
and link - north of Moorfields to Central via the Northern Line.Liverpool City underground loop via Moorfields opened 1977
... Did rerouting the Newcastle-Hexham service via Metrocentre require any new track?
Isnt it a bit complicated? Newcastle-Carlisle trains used to leave Central on the north bank of the river. Then they diverted them over the river using The King Edward VII Bridge then through Dunston. Since 1980 I think.No, but according to RailScot, MetroCentre station is on a 1904 deviation of the original line - so a bit of the route counts!
Blaydon - RAILSCOT
Blaydon is a two platform station with a small car park, just a lane, to the south. Just to the east at Blaydon East Junction was the point of division between the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway^swww.railscot.co.uk

Similar and not too far away (if they've not been mentioned before):Chord at Lincoln to allow St Marks station to be closed 1985.
And also the chord from the GC to the Midland mainline at Loughborough, which was installed not long afterwards!The chord at Newark from the GN main line to the Nottingham - Lincoln line.
The connection from the Nottingham - Lincoln line to the Grantham line near Netherfield which helped towards the closure of Nottingham Victoria.

When were these?And also the chord from the GC to the Midland mainline at Loughborough, which was installed not long afterwards!
The former in 1967, which allowed the closure of Nottingham Victoria. The latter IIRC was constructed 1973/74, and allowed access to Ruddington from the MML, rather than via Weekday Cross.When were these?
