Lord Callanan
Clearly, the provision of additional stations on important local lines is vital, but I shall have to write to the noble Lord on the detailed business case for that particular station.
Lord Dubs (Lab)
My Lords, no doubt the Minister has a list of all the potential local railways, so may I ask him to look at the case for the Penrith to Keswick line? It is one of the examples of where Beeching vandalised this country, so let us put that right.
Lord Callanan
The noble Lord is right: I do have an extensive list. However, I do not see that one on it, but I will write to him on that particular case.
