- Richard Beeching, Baron Beeching (21 April 1913 – 23 March 1985), commonly known as Doctor Beeching, was chairman of British Railways and a physicist and engineer. He became infamous in Britain in the early 1960s for his report "The Reshaping of British Railways", commonly referred to as the Beeching Report, which led to far-reaching changes in the railway network, popularly known as the Beeching Axe. As a result of the report, just over 4,000 route miles were cut on cost and efficiency grounds, leaving Britain with 13,721 miles (22,082 km) of railway lines in 1966. A further 2,000 miles (3,200 km) were to be lost by the end of the 1960s.
- Dr. Richard Beeching, Baron Beeching war ein britischer Physiker und Ingenieur, der vor allem durch seine Tätigkeit als Vorsitzender der Aufsichtsbehörde der Staatsbahn British Railways bekannt wurde. Zu den dort unter seiner Regie umgesetzten Rationalisierungsmaßnahmen zählte die Stilllegung zahlreicher Nebenbahnen, die als Beeching-Axt (Beeching axe) bekannt wurde.
