Agreed.
I think it is highly likely that at least some of the still closed Waverley Line will be reopened, albeit possibly not until he next decade.

Others which immediately come to mind are:
The Fleetwood branch
The Bramley Line in to Wisbech
The Anglesey Central Railway, at least to Llangefni.
All three have at least the track remaining so to my mind, all three are not that difficult to reinstate.

I agree that this line is another which is most likely to reopen to regular passenger services, as is another freight-only route between Hellifield and Clitheroe.
