The ivanhoe line reopening halted from the conservatives restore your railway fund scheme. B.B.C. news

[Dave S 56F]

Hello I've seen on google newsreel on the Rachel reeves is wanting to save £85 million the ivanhoe isent going to be funded anytime soon to reopen i guess this is what the title of the newsarticle means as a passenger commuting line however I was still thinking does freight traffic still have paths to Bardon hill quarry for ballast trains although the line dosent have any of the current station sites in usage is the tracks still live to freight traffic is what I'm asking though? Did the line ever carry passenger traffic after the DR Beeching cuts
