Does OpenStreetMap know more about line reopenings than we do? (image shows current map of Northampton station with the legend Northampton to Bedford Railway).

Or just a reference to the long closed Bedford–Northampton line which hasn't been noticed before now?

As that line closed in the sixties, why should a modern internet mapping tool be referencing it?

You can always edit it to remove the reference considering Open Street Map is editable by anybody.
The underlying OSM data can include historical features. They should be tagged accordingly, so they only appear when appropriate.
