An appeal for £1.25m to complete the 'last mile' of a heritage railway line has raised £250,000 in one week. Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) currently runs between Cheltenham and Laverton but wants to extend to Broadway in Worcestershire. A public share scheme raised more than £500,000 in 2014 and GWSR said 'over £35,000 per day' was coming in. It is hoped funding will enable the opening of a station in Broadway in 2018.
