Now that the local private railway (P.V.R.)is carrying passengers, and the line is now able to be extended over 3 refurbished bridges, This Charity will be able to help a 2nd railway. We aim to inject funding to convert a railway coach for use of the Disabled. We as a group have been formed and started raising funds since 1989 to get to this point of opening up this line for Disabled passengers.
