There is another song about the Beeching cuts, by Johnny Handle. I can't find it in the DT. This is what I can remember. I think there's at least one more verse - about people being knocked down on the roads.

In the fifties and the sixties the railways hit hard times
So they cut down many services and altered many lines.
In the face of competition from the aeroplanes and roads
They said "We'll have to modernise or else we'll have to close".

From Kempton to the Welsh hills, from the Tees to the Lakeland shores
The little lines through the border hills alas they run no more.
They gave us a tradition on the railways next to none.
They'll curse old Doctor Beeching when the smell of smoke is gone.

Don't worry about the people when you close the railways down
Don't worry how they'll travel from the village to the town.
Just write it down in history and this is what you'll say:
Beeching closed the railways down because they didn't pay.
