Ladies and gentlemen
You will all be aware of the weather earlier this week and its impact on rail transport in Scotland. Some of you will know that I am a driver on the Bo’ness and Kinneil railway in central Scotland. This line climbs from Bo’ness along a ledge in the hill side overlooking the River Forth and the formation has suffered major landslips.
Along with all the entertainment and leisure industry in the UK this year we have been closed and our finances are being severely stretched. This latest incident has added significant additional stress and the estimates for repairs are currently at a cost of £100k. I am asking you to please consider a donation to assist restoring the railway and help preserve some of Scotland’s railway heritage. 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the societies founding and we would welcome you all next year to see our achievements and ride on our trains.
The appeal website is www.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/SRPSlandslide and I ask you to please be generous.
Many thanks
Martin
