We did it! - Many thanks to everyone who voted for our project in The People's Millions. The ITV Meridian East news at 6pm on Thursday 26 November 2009 showed Fred Dinenage presenting a large cheque for £49,500 to Rowan Millard, our Carriage & Wagon Works Manager. The level of support we've received from across railway preservation, and the wider heritage movement, from our visitors, members and their friends, from local people and from access groups has been tremendously encouraging. Our sincere thanks to you all. |

Right: The wheelchair accessible carriage is almost identical to the first coach in the train seen in Jon Bowers' photo. When restored, it will run as an additional coach on this train.
