David Elliott RIP
THE A1 Steam Locomotive Trust’s chairman Steve Davies has paid tribute to the group’s David Elliott, who died on December 20.
Mr Davies said:“Although we all knew David was not well and that time was against him, this news nevertheless comes as a body blow to all those who knew him. We will in due course pay a more fulsome tribute to David and his wonderful engineering achievements. We wish David’s immediate family well at this difficult time.”
GCR reunification
THE project to reunify the surviving Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire sections of the Great Central Railway continues to progress and fundraising has now passed £2 million. This has allowed a contract to be let for final design work before a formal planning application.
