MORE heritage railways, railway museums and locomotive operators across the length and breadth of England have benefitted from a second round of financial awards from the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
The awards will help the railways in question with their reopening preparations, as well as help cover lost revenue caused as a direct result of the pandemic and its subsequent impact on the heritage sector. Both standard and narrow gauge lines have received the awards; the latter being covered on page 75. The standard gauge organisations are listed in the panel (right).
