I've had an idea for a thread/poll...thing.
a) People post particularly bad Beeching/Marsh/Castle closures - passenger lines that have been closed
b) I create a poll after a while and we vote
c) The answer is revealed...and everyone probably argues about it
Sound good to anyone?
If so, then I'll mention a perennial favourite - the Waverley Route.
Running from Edinburgh to Carlisle via Galashiels, Melrose, Hawick, Newcastleton and Longtown, this route was closed in January 1969. A small length of track running into Edinburgh's south-east suburbs reopened in June 2002, and a section stretching from Edinburgh to Tweedbank - between Galashiels and Melrose - was reopened in September of 2015.
