We're deeply humbled that our friends are still supporting the appeal even when priorities are changing on a daily basis. Posted on 4th December 2020, 'The ideal Christmas present' say fundraisers. The chairman of The Friends of The Great Central Main Line Andy Fillingham explained, "Our Reunification project is one of the biggest schemes on any heritage railway in the UK. Fundraising is continuing for the Reunification programme which will create an eighteen mile heritage railway. Thank you for your support. If you have donated by cheque in the post please bear with us while we process your donation and write a thank you letter. There were pre-Christmas celebrations at the Great Central Railway when a fifty thousand pound grant arrived for the line's ambitious Reunification project. (Operational), LMS 20-ton Brake Van 357771 built in 1927. Overall though, the impression is of a wonderful GCR bridge restored to 'as built' appearance. Posted on 6th July 2020. A brand new bridge over the A60 road in Loughborough is set to be built in October as part of the GCRs ambitious Reunification project. It's stood the test of time, and more than a few strikes from over height lorries, for 125 years. To everyone who rattled buckets, manned stands, presented talks, funded and distributed flyers, banked the donations and sent out the 'Thank You' letters to donors, an enormous 'congratulations and thank you'! The latest phase of the Great Central Railway's Reunification appeal has reached one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. Both sides of this bridge carry trains in the future. That means we now have an incredible 1.4 million banked and ready to spend. The future, now with pictures! For Network Rail to route freight trains onto the line during the week and GCR(N) to operate heritage trains at the weekend, a length of rail north of East Leake was removed to create two separate railways. (Awaiting resumption of overhaul), BR 20-ton Brake Van 954353 built in 1958. Remove this and you cut the new tram network in half. We had 1.4m before we started the promotion. When we can finally announce where we have got to, its going to be a big push towards Reunification. If Money Match March is fully subscribed we'll have another two hundred thousand pounds in the pot. A purchase order has been placed with VolkerLaser, who are the preferred contractors. Thank you as ever for your incredible support and we hope you're as inspired as we are to see orange jackets back at work on the biggest heritage railway project in the UK. Exciting enough but we've even more good news. In the meantime a new Ruddington Station has been built within the NTHC.
