Volunteers secure long-term lease to save the historic Woodhorn Narrow Gauge Railway
The Woodhorn Narrow Gauge Railway in Northumberland faced permanent closure due to uncertainty over its lease, which prevented the group from accessing vital restoration grants. With legal support, the volunteer-led organisation has now secured a long-term agreement, allowing them to prepare for a reopening next Easter. This ensures the survival of a local industrial landmark that serves as a community hub and heritage site.
