The Great Central Railway's carriage shed at Ruddington is really coming together - the block work is up and the roof is going on.

We've raised £7,500 - that's half of our appeal for £15,000 which will put a roller shutter door on the building and fit it out electrically. If you can help with a donation, then we can have this building open for business very early in 2024.

Please consider a donation at www.lnergctrust.org
Thank you for your support.


Here's some more background, in case you've missed the story so far...

£40,000 of grant funding has been awarded to Great Central Railway (Nottingham) Ltd (GCRN) from Rushcliffe Borough Council. It comes from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF), part of UK Government's Levelling Up agenda, providing funding for local investment.
The money, combined with match funding from East Midlands Railway Trust and LNER (GC) Heritage Trust will allow the already part finished carriage shed building to be completed.The aim is to house four operational passenger carriages undercover, protecting them from the elements and vandalism. There will also be room for a small workshop.
