Point taken Les and I stand corrected - perhaps he should have kept those recommendations to himself, looking retrospectively at the impact they had on our rail network. Whether it was directly the work of Beeching or not, his name is always 'in lights' wherever cuts to services are mentioned!!
If 'Marple' could only see the results of his closures today.....absolute gridlock on most of our road networks and a barely fit for purpose rail system.
Having spent some time living in Europe and the Far East using excellent public transport - I find our current rail services somewhat embarrassing.
