Pete you are so lucky to have been around in those times. When I was born the Somerset and Dorset railway had only two weeks to run before closure. My father very kindly put me in a pram and we made a trip before it closed. I think that's where my interest in old railway lines and stations and engines come from.
When Beeching wielded his axe over the railway system in this country of course he did not have the benefit of hindsight but how useful would some of those old lines be to us now?
