Rail unions brand the Tories' reversal of the Beeching cuts as ‘PR spin’
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps
RAIL unions have attacked Tory PR spin after the government decided to reverse the closures of historic train stations with a measly £500 million fund.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps visited Fleetwood today with a pledge to put £100,000 worth of the fund toward a feasibility study into reopening the line linking the Lancashire town to Poulton-le-Fylde.
The line was shut in 1970 as part of the Beeching closures.
