I am increasingly convinced that Beeching's 'reforms' were an unofficial war against rural and provincial Britain. While London and the Southeast saw some cutbacks, they were far less badly-affected than the rest of the country. In fact, Wales was especially badly-affected - before the 60's, practically every town and village in South Wales had its own station, whereas now it is not even close. And then politicians complain when potential investors say they won't invest in Wales due to the poor transport and infrastructure!

Yes. There used to be extensive tramway systems in about six cities in Greece in the 60s. Athens had about 21 tram lines at its apex. Thessaloniki had close to 15. Athens suburban railway network had lines going through all over Attica, to Lavrion, to Sounion, to Kifissia, to Oropos, wherever you could imagine.
