		Captain Cook would be proud of the team who run the railway through his native patch - the winding Esk Valley between Middlesbrough and Whitby that has been picked as one of five pilot "community lines".
		The first goal in the Esk pilot will be the end of constant frustration at the "final mile" - a short stretch of substandard track that has kept big trains and steam engines out of Whitby.
		Mr Smares, whose Esk Valley Railway development company is set up on the community-led lines envisaged by the government, also has an eye on the heather-encircled plat forms at Grosmont junction, where the North York Moors steam trains connect with the Esk Valley line.

		Unless it can find a way to run rural lines more cheaply the authority may be forced to repeat the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, which closed more than a quarter of the network.
		Many lines were reprieved after local campaigns, but the total length of Britain’s railways was cut from 17,830 miles in 1961 to 13,261 by 1969.
		Lines likely to be subject to the less stringent standards include branch lines in Devon and Cornwall, the Heart of Wales line between Swansea and Shrewsbury, the Conwy Valley line in North Wales, routes in Merseyside and lines north of Inverness.

		This change was made to recognise that it is not always possible to designate the line because it also carries heavy freight, is part of the Trans European Network or because of specific local issues.
