Government needs to get re-railing in the North and all other regions.

Government wake up to what local rail reopenings can offer:

Government should treat each region fairly with local reopenings being the top priority to give more resilience, robustness and options for people and goods more by rail (modal shift) whereas what we get is pluralism in transport whereby a road upgrade here, a reopening there and pedestrian-cycleway over there. We need to join up, we need priorities to be commensurate with the need for emissions reduction whilst putting the push for growth on a sustainable platform. When it comes to bulk, that should mean rail, but vested interests make the government satisfy clusters of popularity while stopping short of a leadership decision to plum for local rail solutions more.

Politicians and strategic representatives must kick the protocol of just constituency thinking and think of what is right for regions and the nation as a whole. Clearly, are we getting such vibes? In part maybe, but nowhere near a cohesive strategy with early wins like these two schemes. 

Please email your MP and encourage more support and switch of funding from more roads to more rails: https://members.parliament.uk/members/commons?sort=1 Thank you.

Ringwood - is the reopening still viable or wishful thinking?

David Henshaw formerly of Railway Development Society (RDS) - author of the Great Railway Conspiracy - See: https://shop.foscl.org.uk/the-great-railway-conspiracy-by-david-henshaw.html -  advocated reopening this link. However, what condition is the route today, are blockages beyond deviation and is any outlets seriously campaigning for it now? Enthusiasts need critical evaluative skills and not suck up to every potential without scrutiny. That is the discipline and balance we need to appear more credible, even if reopenings nationwide make common sense to 'us'; professionals are paid to save money!

Please let me have any information or feedback of what the status of the old route is and whether it can be reopened or not. Mere enthusiasm is not enough! However, if there is a good case, is there a Tony Blair 'tipping point' whereby the case trumps reality on the ground and demands a reopening resolution response?
