All across Europe, railways were built from perhaps 18xx to 1926, perhaps to an excess for what's justified for 2026. You could, perhaps, say that the Beeching report and subsequent closures did us a long term favour. I've seen in Italy and France, and in the Balkans, lines on the maps of a couple of years ago that are no longer running, and this week in another country there are heavily engineered lines with few trains that has me wondering about these economics, and a rail replacement bus that often keeps time with the train timetable. Sadly, the closure pendulum can swing too far as we see in Ireland.
