Background

The mission of the Mountsorrel Railway project is to recreate this sadly forgotten industrial steam line, which was once crucial to the local community. We aim to recreate the line with the support of the local community as well as the railway community, to work with schools and other groups, and to promote ecological aspects of the project.

The project has reached a point where progress is only limited by a lack of money. Would you consider donating to the Mountsorrel Railway track appeal, so trains can run again from the Great Central Railway towards Mountsorrel?

Please see the Mountsorrel Railway track appeal donation form for more information, or donate online. You can help by donating whatever money you can afford, for example:
  • You could sponsor one or more sleepers at £15 each
  • You could sponsor one or more lengths of rail at £180 each
  • You could setup a standing order donation to the appeal, which would help reopen the Mountsorrel Railway even sooner
For more information please contact George Overton.
