I met a couple of people in Scotland this week who had only just sent off their application so there is a good chance the last minute rush will get to the target

 

Share sales available from head office in Kidderminster tomorrow 30/10/17 from 9 to 5.

I see from Twitter that £2.3 million has now been passed. Let's hope for a good final day! I am very impressed by the push made over the last month or so.

Announced on facebook. £2.4 has now been reached. Closing time is 1630 today

 

Phew! I was beginning to worry that it might merely have 'reached' it - which would, of course, would have been awful...

 

Yes, it is.

 

Due to an overwhelming number of shares being purchased today, our offices in Kidderminster will be open until 9pm!!

You can phone us on 01562 757900 or visit us in person to purchase shares.

We can do it!!

£2.5m - Done! - according to Midlands TV a couple of minutes ago.

 

A phenomenal effort - I really doubted a couple of months ago as to whether this would be achieved or not but the achievement of the last few weeks has been quite something.

Really looking forward to what Bridgnorth will look like in 5 years' time!

Where next? Bewdley?

Fantastic news from the SVR. Well done to them !! <BJ>

Help secure our unique heritage for future generations.

UPDATE: We did it!

We’ve now raised £2.5 million. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. We are truly humbled. Our Bridgnorth dream is set to become reality!

Unfortunately, our Bridgnorth Share Offer is now closed.We launched our Share Offer last November to help fund transformative works at Bridgnorth Station. Proceeds will support ambitious plans to deliver much-improved visitor facilities whilst at the same time conserving and enhancing the line's main destination station.

We are truly humbled by the generosity that our supporters have shown over the past 12 months. Over the next few days, we will be calculating the final figure achieved by our Share Offer, but we are confident we have reached £2.5 million with your help. Thank you to everyone who has purchased...our Bridgnorth dream is set to become a reality!

£2,520,300 plus a few applications to process so it is likely that this figure will increase in the coming days.
In addition to the above, the Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust has raised a further £60k
