Do you mean that the trackbed had never acquired the status of a
nature trail, so apart from cyclists there's no-one that worried
about it potentially disappearing?

It was officially a railway under engineers' possession until it was
handed over to the County Council, if you remember.

There are pictures of the Ouse bridge with a tarmac path over one
of the spans (the other being derelict). So I don't think it can
have been a railway all the way. Another reason why the "use the
un-ripped up old track" issue is an oversimplification.

This at Swavesey for example: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/6784944
and a little further west: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/10391958

The railway only extended to Fen Drayton by then.
