There's no way Network Rail will close this 'permissive path' (apart from on those statutory occasions where they have to close it temporarily to prevent it being adopted as a legal right of way). I expect they'll install a little toll bin at either side and we'll all move on.
This story is more of a publicity stunt from the council complaining (quite rightly I might add) about cuts being forced upon them.
Ironically if NR were to allow it to be added to the definitive map as a public right of way they'd be eligible for funding from the local highway authority (ie Gwynedd) to help maintain it...
