Surely pressure must be brought to bear on the Green Party. This is their first time in power and they are allowing a railway to close.
The message that must be put is out is a simple one, the Green party are closing railways.
The people who vote for the Greens are the most likely people to be annoyed at railway closures and that should be the target audience in any campaign to save the line, make this not only a question of bums on seats but one of greens on seats. After all, whats the point in voting for a green if they are going to axe passenger rail services.
