Ah cheers.
I don't know how important having a diversionary route is here. You hear it a lot as a justification for lines being reinstated. The Stroud Valley Line got upgraded because trains need to divert along it when work was being done on the Great Western Mainline. So it might be helpful, I don't know.
Hilariously, Simon Jenkins, who I heard it suggested got put on the British Rail Board to keep Mrs Thatcher happy, has found a new "vanity project". Oxford to Cambridge. I mean, it's not like there's big population growth around there or anything.
