Show notes

In March 1963, the British government published the Beeching Report – a plan to radically cut the country’s railway network. Thousands of stations were closed. Witness spoke to Sandy Morrison, one of the civil servants involved in the cuts.(Photo: 1 May 1968, the Flying Scotsman steam locomotive leaves King's Cross station, London.
