A PROPOSAL to reopen the railway between Stratfordupon-Avon and Honeybourne under the ‘Restore Your Railway’ scheme has been rejected by the Government, killing off all future hope of reinstating rail services.
Announcing the decision, Transport Minister Wendy Morton said the business case “did not demonstrate sufficient potential economic benefits of reopening to justify taking this project forward.” She added that there was also no indication of the potential market for these services.
