How much of the cost of reopening a line is the rolling stock though, and how much is the infrastructure?

Its usually the commitment required to ongoing operating subsidy thats the killer.

Problem with the re-opening of the Oswestry branch is a Level Crossing over the A5

I don't think it's ever been removed - I'm sure the signage is still in situ.
Level crossing is still there - with barriers believe it or not. Also since the railway came first and importantly was never actually closed - just mothballed - the legal rights of the railway come first. Basically the road crosses the railway and not the other way round.

actually a stourbridge type solution could work to form a light railway connection to some areas of Leicester, such as Blaby and Enderby, potentially lutterworth???
