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.

Exciting plans to relink Bideford Tarka Line railway with rest of Devon

Wonderful if this goes ahead. So many areas of Devon & Cornwall completely cut off since their railways closed in the 1960s.

Devon and Cornwall's lost and abandoned railways

So many railways and stations closed nationally, cutting off their respective communities. A very sad period.

If left, you can bet you bottom Dollar that #Thatcher would have closed them.

A few have been reopened or are footpaths or #cycle routes, but it's not the same.

Given problems with so many cars on the roads today, a good number should never have been closed.
