Well maybe.
The part of the line by my mum's is an existing but underused mainline that used to go to Birmingham. I see the having to move as an opportunity, to move to a bungalow or flat where she can be independant, but with a warden on call when she needs them. As for the railway lne, I think it is just going to end up as a normal medium speed line to take the pressure off the already up to capacity west coast mainline. It just needs a gimic to get the funding, so let's call it the high speed line.
