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.

Vote to help the Mountsorrel Railway win £6,000!

With a few clicks of your mouse, you can help the Mountsorrel Railway win £6,000!
Please vote online for the Mountsorrel Railway to get a NatWest CommunityForce grant of £6,000. The money would go towards the £25,000 currently being raised for rail and sleepers to extend the branch to almost a mile long, nearly all the way to Mountsorrel. Children and adults would benefit greatly from the project by learning about and being involved with this former industrial railway line, which was once crucial to the local community.
Winning the £6,000 would make a huge contribution to fundraising for the project. But competition for the grants is huge, and we’ll need as many people as possible to vote for us. So please don’t wait! Vote now! And please get as many as possible of your friends and family to vote for us too!


Voting for the Mountsorrel branch will only take you a few clicks. To vote, and for more information, please go here: http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/2350
Thank you
