Government Announce Yorkshire Rail Schemes That Could ‘Reverse Beeching’ Funding
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the Yorkshire Post.
Yorkshire appears to be in favour of the schemes in their area.
- York to Beverley – The Minsters Line. – See Beeching Reversal – Reinstatement Of The Beverley And York Rail Line
- Upper Wensleydale Railway – The Hawes Branch – See Beeching Reversal – Upper Wensleydale Railway
- Sheaf Valley Stations – See Beeching Reversal – Sheaf Valley Stations
Daily Train Service On The Keighley And Worth Valley Railway – See Beeching Reversal – Restoration Of A Daily Train Service On The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway
- A New Station To Serve The Advanced Manufacturing Park In Rotherham – Beeching Reversal – A New Station At Waverley In Sheffield
- South Yorkshire Joint Railway – See Beeching Reversal – South Yorkshire Joint Railway
- New Train Services Between Barton-on-Humber and Sheffield – See Beeching Reversal – Restoring A South Humber Link
As in the last round, Yorkshire got a grant for Sheffield and Chesterfield via Barrow Hill, that I wrote about in Reinstatement Of The Barrow Hill Line Between Sheffield And Chesterfield, the county is not doing badly.
But then it has a lot of area and disused coal and industrial railways.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

While there are various maps online regarding the routes closed in the Beeching Cuts, what comprehensive book would you or anyone else recommend that goes into the specifics?

No mention of the Hornsea to Hull line. It was well used before Beeching closed it, particularly in the summer, but he chose to look only at traffic in January.

I suspect, there’s been a bit of filtering by someone, who knows about building and maintaining railways. Perhaps, if it was suggested it was filed under Impossible or Too Difficult!
