The real shame is that the rights-of-way were not permanently held.
That would have allowed for them to be later re-used for rail, or
bus-ways or bike/walking routes f'rinstance. Such as parts of the Worth
Way in Sussex.

Oi! I own a short stretch of the WGC to Dunstable branch line.

Herts County Council purchased the bulk of it and it is open as *the
Ayot Green Way*.
