Title: Re-introduction of trains Post by: grahame on July 25, 2017, 18:37:18 From the Rochdale Herald (http://rochdaleherald.co.uk/2017/07/24/after-success-with-beavers-in-scotland-trains-to-be-reintroduced-in-south-of-england/)
Quote Beavers, once natural to Great Britain, have successfully re-established themselves in Scotland. Those behind the project have now been tasked with repeating the success with the Southern Train. The Train became an increasingly rare sight in its former habitat of the so-called ‘commuter belt’ to the south of London. Wildlife experts believed that it was being pushed to the brink of extinction by the more aggressive Replacement Bus.

Electric cars are also threatening other species of train across vast tracts of the south west and east midlands as vital habitat improvement works needed to safeguard the future of the train have been cancelled or, in some cases, simply not proposed.
