Most or these were proposed for closure in the Beeching Report of 1963. Since Beeching, successive Ministers of Transport had approved the withdrawal of 265 passenger services on over 1,700 route miles representing about 10 per cent of the 1963 railway network.Main Topics: Main survey: Former users of local railway lines in areas which had experienced closures were surveyed to establish the travel and associated consequences of closure: <ul><li>effects on activity and travel patterns; </li><li>attitudes towards rail closure; </li><li>attitudes towards bus travel and rail travel; </li><li>comparison of local rail services with the bus services which replaced them; </li><li>changes in car ownership.</li><li>Basic social/demographic information was also collected.</li></ul>Subsidiary survey: People who had not used the local railway lines before closure were surveyed to collect:<ul><li> basic social/demographic data; </li><li>information on travel methods; and </li><li>details of car ownership.</li></ul> October 1978 - November 197830 September 197801 November 1978 Great Britain IndividualsSubnational Adult and teenaged population living in 10 areas experiencing railway line closure between 1969 and 1976.
