Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Whitwell Station - rolling stock This carriage - BR70527 Trailer Second Corridor from 4-CEP EMU Unit - was built
in 1960 in Ashford/Eastleigh as part of 4-CEP Unit 7178 (later Unit 1589). The carriage came from the Great Central Railway and needs repainting due to graffiti down both sides. In 1882 two railway stations opened at Reepham and Whitwell - Whitwell station, having formed part of the Norwich City to Melton Constable leg of the M&GN which ran for a total of 21.5 miles, was closed in 1959. After years of lying derelict it was acquired by the newly formed Whitwell & Reepham Railway Preservation Society Limited with the aim of restoring the station, acquiring rolling stock and to set up a museum. By September 2008 130 metres of track had been laid and with work still ongoing, the station was re-opened to the public in February 2009 on occasion of the 50th anniversary of the closure of the M&GN (Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway). From end of March onwards weekends we will be open from 10am to 6pm - with steam engine 'Annie' running every first Sunday from midday onwards - and coffee, tea and some food will be served. http://www.whitwellstation.com/default.asp |
