A blueprint for a new xxxxx railway

Article in The Telegraph today - what struck me was the paragraph...

(It was a trick of those who closed railway lines in the sixties to run down services so badly that no one ever used the railway, giving them the excuse to shut it permanently.)

BTW - The book "Fire and Steam: A New History of the Railways in Britain" by Christian Wolmar is available from the Book Depository for €5.59 postage free...
