Yep he's at No. 2
I think in some respects he was right, but they shouldnt have ripped up the track, demonlished the old stations, they should have left them there and they could have been recommisioned, but the ripped down the infrastructure and theres no way to put it back now.
Also IIRC alot of his sums were skewed and the guy who put Beeching where he did was in the pocket of the UK's biggest provider of Tarmac...
The BBC4 Program that Dizzyblonde refered to was very interesting and explained it all much better than I can.
