I understand this route re-opened this week, having had no passenger service for 56 years. Any news on its success, or otherwise? Ridership figures? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Sam

The former industry of coal mines has gone so there will probably be no freight for this line. It has been electrified. There are new stations to reflect the change in population since it was closed.
