The transport lobby group Transport 2000 has called for Stratford-Cheltenham to be reopened as part of the network. This important cross country route was closed back in 1976 after a derailment left track damaged - how often are roads closed permanently when some stupid lorry has ripped up the surface (and probably killed a few people in the process)?
A good deal of the 29 mile long route has already been restored by the Gloucestershire-Warwickshire Railway. Hopefully both a heritage and ‘real’ service could be run over the line.
