Synopsis

Focuses on the train line between Buxton and Manchester, which British Rail is threatening to close down because it is losing money. Opening titles include shots of shoppers and commuters in the street. Commuters are interviewed on a platform and on a train about the problem they would have travelling into work and the damaging effect closing the line would have on Buxton.
