Plans to run passenger services on the Fawley branch in Hampshire have been dealt a further blow.
The last oil train to Britain’s biggest refinery ran in 2016, and regular passenger services ended in 1966.
The spokesman added: “Network Rail is proposing a retrospective Short Term Network Change for the ceasing of maintenance inspection and operation of the Fawley line beyond Marchwood.
But a 2022 estimate by Network Rail put the reopening cost at £113m.
