Trains.

 

[class 313]

One and Two I would say would be the up most important

 

[Guinness]

Remnants of the previous Railway there. For example, Gradient Signs, Mileage Posts, Platform remnants etc.

 

[Ascot]

The scenery and views.

 

[1D53]

A Pub

 

[Mushroom]

A Pub

And for those not yet old enough to drink. An Ice Cream Van

 

[Coxster]

I would say transport links and parking, as you ideally need either one or the other. Also, as Chaz mentioned, parts of the old infrastructure such as platforms and bridges still in place would be a good thing.

Machine gun posts every couple of hundred metres to deactivate those mindless morons who want to disturb or destroy all that might be good about such trails. Oh, and some decent pubs en route always helps.
