Abolition of Railway Heritage Committee - latest

Those who care about our railway's heritage may be interested in this DfT consultation document, published with little fanfare.

Proposed abolition of the Railway Heritage Committee and transfer of its designation function to the Board of Trustees of the Science Museum

The consultation closes on the 1st of March.

The proposal as outlined is generally 'a good-thing', but asset owners may wish to review and, if appropriate, respond.

NR breathes life into the RHC?

Is there no end to the NR Charm Offensive?

Apparently Huggable has embraced the Big Society...

"Railway Heritage Trust awarded funding to 2019

"Network Rail has decided to continue its sponsorship of the Trust at its present level until 31 March 2019...

"In its quarter century of life the Trust has awarded 1,214 grants, worth some £39m. These grants have attracted some £46m of additional funding."

So far so good!

But where does the new, improved, Network Rail stand on the Railway Heritage Committee?
