An appeal to link two East Midlands heritage rail lines has raised £100,000 in just two weeks. Two sections of the old Great Central Railway are separated by 1,640ft (500m) of missing track at Loughborough. Earlier this month Network Rail agreed to rebuild a crucial bridge but only if £1m could be raised towards the full £8m cost. Enthusiasts said it was a testament to the importance of the project that so much had been donated so quickly. [From Mark Bartlett]
