A particularly stupid post-Beeching closure was the line from Airdrie to Bathgate, which is now to be restored. The Bathgate to Airdrie line website has more information. Scotland was particularly badly affected by the Beeching and other cuts, but the new Scottish parliament is pro-rail, one line has already reopened (the Larkhall line) and the Waverley route is - at least in part for now - being reopened after almost 40 years of there being no real transport in the Scottish borders.
