Redevelopment news
We have been successful in purchasing the land on which the Railway sits, while much of the surrounding land has been sold off for housing.
Ownership gives us security of tenure, so we can plan for the future with confidence. Immediate plans are for a new car park and better toilet facilities, with access for the disabled. Longer-term we are hoping to replace some of our older structures with more modern buildings.
And our normal operations, maintaining and running the Railway, cost a lot of money.
If you can help in any way, we would be very grateful.
Can you help us? We would greatly appreciate any amount you can give. See here for how your giving can earn rewards.
