The proposed reopening of the railway line to Wisbech is estimated to cost £230 million.

Residents have voiced a mix of opinions on the original story which reported on the hefty price tag associated with the project.

Geraldine Cook expressed skepticism, saying: "I could think of better ways to spend £230 million pounds.

"That would be a terrible waste of money."

Similarly, Jim Bob questioned the benefit, stating: "What’s the point?

"Wisbech is dead, the railways are in decline."

Others have raised concerns about the allocation of funds.

Paul Chapman suggested: "Get the incinerator company to help fund it," while another resident questioned the logic behind the pricing, stating: "One of the biggest expenses is the cost of the land and they already own that.

Sounds like they're plucking numbers out of the air."

Some residents, however, believe the railway would bring benefits to Wisbech.

Nancy D Rothery pointed out: "So many benefits, not just for lovely Wisbech town," suggesting that reviving the railway could stimulate local growth.

While there is support for the project, many locals are wary of the costs and the potential impact on their community.

Burleigh Ibbott highlighted the area's poor transport links, and Brian Stewart noted: "It would become part of the rail network, so the track would need updating plus electrification."

As discussions continue about the feasibility of the railway reopening, the community remains divided.

Some see it as a necessary step for improvement, while others are skeptical about the financial implications and overall benefit to the town.

The future of the project remains uncertain as local voices continue to weigh in.
