I fully respect Beeching was the Axeman of our railways, but he wasn't responsible for All of them.
What is now known as the Wisbech & March Bramley Line, was one of the lines he said to Keep open, but it was closed to passengers anyway, remaining a freight only, until 2002, when Network Rail closed it off after the last freight, due to lack of work.
