You might be tickled by a charity in the UK, formerly known as "Sustrans" who have, among other things, made it their mission to turn disused rail lines into bicycle-paths & footpaths.

The fundamental problem with #branchLines of course is that one end is in a less important place so won't be used that much, so trains tend not to be used very efficiently. If the line continues to another city, overlapping journeys to or from both ends will give a much better coverage. This is a fundamental flaw of the #Beeching cuts, where branch lines were closed for this reason but new ones were created by cutting off connections.

If you want to understand the UK and it's medieval attitude about money, read up on the Beeching Commission. In the early 60s the UK closed 55% of rail stations & 1/3 of rail lines, laid off 67K jobs to "save money."
This killed industries & villages & future growth of regions.

Advent Day Seven
The Beeching Report Cuts were felt all across the UK, but Galloway has never really recovered from the loss of its train line from Dumfries to Portpatrick.
I've done a number of videos on our lost Railways, but this one about Castle Douglas is probably the best place to start!#adventpromo #history #videos #Galloway #Scotland #beeching #railways #BeechingCuts

This is Loch Skerrow Halt in its heyday. One of the most remote stations in Galloway, it closed with the rest of the line because of the Beeching Report Cuts.
You can hike out to its remains from Loch Stroan, takes over an hour, but its a worthwhile journey.

During its working lifetime, Loch Skerrow Halt was one of the remotest stations in the country. All that remains now are a couple of platforms, the ruins of the railway workers cottages and the Scots Pine planted to act as a windbreak.
