>be Britain
>have a mainline from London to the North built to a continental loading gauge
>transfer it from BR Eastern control to BR Midland
>BR Midland management was mostly made up of former LMS men
>upon being given control of their former rival they deliberately ran it into the ground by transfering traffic to other routes and neglecting maintainence to justify its closure
>Dr Beeching when doing his "surgery" sees that it's not making money and has it rippped up and sells off the trackbed which is then built over
>50 years later the country struggles to get a high speed rail route to the North built because of NIMBYs and significantly higher labour costs
