Severn Valley Railway FLOOD DAMAGE APPEAL

[John H-T]

I believe that plans are afoot for PW gangs from other Railways to spend weekends at SVR working to the directions of an SVR leader. These are groups who already do PW work on their own Railway, have a track safety cert. and are covered by their railway's insurance.

It is all in the process of being organised. I beleive that the Bluebell and Swanage are amoung those who have already contacted SVR. We are hoping to send a team from The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Yeah I suppose you are correct.
