Railway Renaissance: Britain’s Railways After Beeching
A 1963 report by Dr Richard Beeching, recommended the closure of rail lines across the UK to improve the financial performance of Britain’s railways. As a result, the rail network fell from 18,000 miles in 1963 to 11,000 a decade later. Passenger rail numbers have since risen while lines that had been closed are being re-opened. In this comprehensive book Gareth David asks what the change of direction tells us about Dr Beeching’s report.
