Call to Reopen Rugby-Leicester Railway Line

Would be good if it could happen: https://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/environment/campaigners-back-proposal-to-bring-back-rugby-leicester-railway-line-that-was-axed-during-1960s-beeching-cuts-3165837

Almost get the old Coventry, leamington, rugby, leicester, nuneaton loop open. I bet Beeching is turning in his grave.

It'd be good for getting lorries off the road, too.

In theory it certainly would. Though I've noticed the passing trains not quite so full of containers recently. And I've not seen one full of Minis for over 12 months now.

Fingers crossed, things will pick up again once the economy starts recovering.
