Carriage Shelter Update: April

We're very excited to announce two major milestones achieved in the last few days on our much needed carriage shelter project.

Thanks to the generosity of our members and supporters we’ve passed the 50% mark in donations to the appeal, meaning two carriages could be accommodated in what will be a four-carriage shelter. Thank you all!

We urgently need to secure the rest of the funds so we can do the construction phase before Winter. If you can contribute, no matter how small or large an amount, follow this link or click the button below.

Secondly, our dedicated work weekend volunteers undertook the trackwork changes necessary to enable construction and operation of the shelter. This involved changing the pointwork to access the transhipment and dock sidings effectively simplifying the layout for stock movements from the shelter into the ‘up’ platform.

Our volunteers did an amazing job over the weekend achieving and essential and massive change in a very short space of time. We are hugely grateful to our volunteers near and far for giving their time and energy to this critical project.

We’ll give more details on the work done to date and what’s next for the project in an upcoming episode of our ‘Steam on the Moor’ film series.
