The Beeching closures refer to a significant reduction of the British railway network in the 1960s, resulting from recommendations made by Dr. Richard Beeching, who was the chairman of British Railways. In 1963, he published a report titled "The Reshaping of British Railways," which aimed to address the financial losses encountered by the rail sector.
