Saving the nation’s heritage

The coronavirus pandemic extinguished the income of heritage lines just as they were preparing for normally busy periods around Mothering Sunday and half-term.

Eleven railways have shared nearly £500million from the lottery’s heritage emergency fund.

Organisations which have received funding include Nene Valley Railway, Cambridgeshire (£47,000); Isle of Wight Steam Railway (£39,300); Strathspey Railway, the Highlands (£45,500); and Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, West Yorkshire (£50,000).
