EVERY Thursday throughout August the Great Central Railway will be running three DMU round trips from Loughborough to Mountsorrel Halt. This enables visitors easy access to the Mountsorrel & Rothley Community Heritage Centre at Nunckley Hill for a stroll around the nature trails and its museums.
This service runs in addition to the regular scheduled trains on the main line between Loughborough Central and Leicester North. Branch line trains depart Loughborough at 10,15, 12.10 and 14.15 and Quorn & Woodhouse at 10.30, 12.20 and 14.30, returning from Nunckley Hill at 10.50, 12.40 and 14.50.
The rapidly expanding Mountsorrel Railway Museum has many items of interest, including locos and wagons, plus a new narrow gauge railway. Visit heritage-centre. co.uk/visit-us/mountsorrelrailway-museum/ for details.
