An appeal has been launched so that work can resume on building a £240,000 shed where carriages at Dorset s heritage railway can be stored and protected from the weather. Swanage Railway volunteers hoped to have the remaining £65,000 raised by the end of June so that the steel structure of the building can be ordered before being delivered to the site and constructed in November. Work on the structure – on the outskirts of Swanage near Herston Halt – began in January last year but had to stop at the end of March when the country went into lockdown. A big sum had already been raised towards the cost.
