New Carriage Shed

The Golden Valley Light Railway supporters' Association is delighted to announce that an order has been placed for the provision of a Carriage Storage Shed to be built close to its existing Running Shed on the Swanwick Junction complex of the Midland Railway-Butterley. This will enable 3 bogie coaches (ex FfR 118 & 119, and ex Ashover Light Railway No.4) to vacate the Running Shed where space is at a premium and also enable a rake of ex Colliery manriders to be stored in doors when the railway is closed, thereby extending the manriders' lives and reducing maintenance considerably.
