That's rather sad, Roy. Here in the UK many of our closed rail routes 
have been set aside as footpaths or cycle ways. So there's no problem 
with walking on them.

That's fine until the rail operators want to re-open the route and then 
the so-called greenies complain about losing a cycle way, rather than 
celebrating the dundreds of lorries that could be taken off the roads as 
a result.
Cheers,
