I'll make a statement here, Beeching did what he was instructed to by the Government of the time, did he got too far with too many closures? yes, But the real 'Villan' of the piece was Marples, who was obviously 'pulling the strings' for his own benefits, that reminds me, must watch the Ian Hislop programme on railways I sky + the other night, fascinating stuff!
I did know about the DVR reopening in 1969 though!
Bulk freight was the way forward though, perhaps he got something right though haha
