General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

It would be very expensive to reopen the Woodhead line when not only the tracks have been taken up, the track partly built on and two of tunnels have been sealed with concrete while the other one is full of main power cables.

The mistake was made in closing the line, especially when it was a lovely ride along the Woodhead pass to Penistone and Sheffield pulled by one of the Class 76 or class 77 electric locomotives.
