Deadline for funding applications has been extended to 31 July. It says Quote Saving the nation’s heritage And lists seven under "these have included". So who else in rail?We are proud to have already supported hundreds of heritage organisations across the UK survive the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis through the Heritage Emergency Fund. From the Yorkshire Post (https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/heritage-railways-relying-emergency-grants-survive-2900974) this morning Quote The coronavirus pandemic extinguished the income of heritage lines just as they were preparing for normally busy periods around Mothering Sunday and half-term. Eleven railways have shared nearly £500million from the lottery’s heritage emergency fund.
