Would this help “the most disadvantaged and disconnected communities” if the Government invested £4.8bn in expanding Britain’s railways?

    I've heard it mentioned that the Ivanhoe Line (Leicester to Burton on Trent) might be usefully re-opened for passenger traffic. It's currently freight only. But maybe there's too much work needed on the track?

    (Vivarail produces rolling stock for this sort of route. Lightweight, with flexible options for traction power.)
