BIGGER RAILWAYS FOR THOSE ENGINEERS OF The FUTURE TO WORK FOR?

摘要

With many heritage railways extending, new locations joining the fold and money flowing in for new-build projects, it is surely now time for all this great enthusiasm and national obsession to be better supported on a national level and integrated into the modern transport structure? This geographical web of enthusiasm, developed over 60 years, has now turned into a major national asset. Since 1965, the Severn Valley Railway has created one of the finest examples of volunteer effort in the whole of the United Kingdom and become a major tourist attraction close to Britain's second city and just nine miles south of Coalbrookdale/Ironbridge, a World Heritage site and one of the centres of the Industrial Revolution.
