BACK ON TRACK
EMERGENCY APPEAL

The Mid Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust is launching an appeal for funds to make a significant contribution to the overall infrastructure work required to fully reopen the line.  The initial target of the appeal is £95,000.

 

This appeal forms one strand of the overall new business model and is designed to break the cycle that such work will be only funded by existing self-generated railway revenue.

The focus of the Appeal is to secure the funds required to reopen Crownthorpe Bridge to all rail traffic and other associated infrastructure work.
