National Highways: an ongoing threat to our great railway heritage – change.org – The HRE Group

Petition update 15 Nov 2021
At the end of July, the Government put National Highways’ infilling and demolition of legacy rail structures on hold following the controversy caused by its unwarranted actions at Great Musgrave in Cumbria where a delightful masonry arched bridge – with a handful of minor defects – was opportunistically buried in pursuit of the company’s policy of liability reduction. The structure was needed for the reconnection of two heritage railways, neither of which was consulted about the scheme.
