county councils withdrawing their subsidies
|
I'm pretty certain the lines mentioned in the BBC report are all subsidised by the local councils to some degree.
Certainly Derbyshire County County has a strong interest in the Matlock Line since roadworks along the A6 through the Derwent Valley are almost impossible particularly as a it is a World Heritage Area. Businesses are happy for their rates to go towards it as it facilitates tourism.

Yes, it would be good for the Fawley line to be reopened. And all the rest....

What you need then is to start a "Friends of the Fawley Line" and look for public support particularly from local businesses and then get the council involved.
