Great Central bridge planning application [Loughborough Echo]





Date: 21/04/2014

A VISION to reunify the two halves of the Great Central Railway is steaming ahead after an application for the bridge to connect them was submitted to planners. The Bridge to the Future appeal was launched last June with the aim of raising £1m to reunify the track on either side of Loughborough Railway Station. So far, £405,000 has been donated to the appeal and some work is already underway. Now the planning application for the bridge has been submitted to Charnwood Borough Council by Network Rail, which is working with Great Central Railway on the project.
