Hello from East Midlands Railway Trust
We’re a registered charity supporting the development and maintenance of the Great Central Railway north from Loughborough, towards the village of Ruddington.
Established in the 2000s we own nine miles of trackbed and our work ensures commercial and heritage traffic can continue to use the line. We also own a significant piece of the former Ministry of Defence depot at Ruddington which has become a thriving transport heritage centre.
We’re working with our friends at the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire to ensure the two lines can ultimately reunify, by rebuilding a missing link line of about five hundred metres. We want to join up and develop.
We’re now setting up ‘the Forward Fund’ and inviting you to join us in fundraising for the future; a future beyond Reunification where we must maintain the route and expand our facilities to welcome visitors and attract more commercial work.

Calling at Rushcliffe Halt. The Great Central Railway's small unique station in Nottinghamshire.
Просмотров 11 тыс.2 года назад
A profile of Rushcliffe Halt. It's a station with a fascinating history. Built after the railway was opened to serve a golf club it became better known for the extensive sidings for a gypsum mine. Even though BR closed it in 1963 it remained almost intact until the 1980s for freight - and then was consumed by nature. Now in a new life it's being rebuilt by a team of volunteers to serve a new ge...
