FORMER Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott has backed calls to reopen the railway line between York and Beverley.

He is supporting a petition aimed at reinstating the route, which was closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching national rail cuts.

A campaign group has asked the four councils in the area covered by the line to carry out a detailed study into the idea.
