Background Story ..... Dr. Richard Beeching was appointed by the government of the time to create a plan to make British Rail more profitable. He produced a report "The Reshaping of British Railways" which was published on 27th. March 1963. It was first thought that the Lenton-on-Sea Branch Line was to be closed as a result of the report, but following protests by local people and businesses, a reprieve was granted and the line remained open. Anticipating closure, parts of the line had become slightly overgrown and maintenance wasn't considered a priority. Luckily all ended well with the decision to keep the line open.
