For those who don't know, the Beeching Axe is the name given to the sieres of mass closures (aimed at cutting costs) on Britain's Rail network during the 1960's (more infomation here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeching_Axe)
Although it's likely that some closures were inevitable, what would the impact on Britain today be if Beeching's ideas are not implemented and Britain's Rail netowrk is left largely intact? Disscus.
