    There isn’t. This is solely to buy the track, there is still recovery to organise which will be more than double the purchase price and then clearance work and drainage repairs to complete on the CVR trackbed.

    If anyone can help finance any of the above, my details are as provided. It’s the only thing holding us back, and unfortunately resources are limited and we still have 10-miles of operational railway to maintain already.

    If £100k landed into the account it would certainly progress things. But there is a lot of work needed to make this happen.

    Excellent news - came as a complete surprise to me, despite being a vol there.
