Summary

[edit]
Description

This is what the BR network could have looked like, by the 1980s, had the Beeching II developments gone ahead. All lines except those shown in bold would have been axed. Some parts of the country - Wales and North & West Scotland- would have had no lines. Luckily the plans were quietly shelved, and closures slowed. Beeching resigned.

Notes:

1. Suburban lines around certain cities (eg. London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester) would have been kept open for commuters, this is not shown on the map.

2. It is interesting that the Woodhead route (Manchester to Sheffield) is shown to be kept open on this map, but was axed in the 1980s.
