The old Woodhead Line is one of the closed lines I am thinking about, the closed section is from Hadfield, where the line ends now, to Penistone, where the line continues, and it is just less than 15 miles as the crow flies, and although the Woodhead Tunnel, now carries electric cables, that being the newer tunnel which was constructed in the 1950s, modern tunnelling technology means that it is easier and cheaper to construct a separate new tunnel, using the modern TBM machines, than mess about reopening closed tunnels.
