Please see the following link for the spring 2023 appeal to support the significant forecasts costs that will be incurred during the overhaul of British Railways Mk1 Brake Coach No. 21241.
Release The Brakes – 2023 Fundraising Appeal
The deteriorating condition of our coaching stock will not be news to many of our members given recent given recent service cancellations; the overhaul of this critical vehicle will help to support operations at Bo’ness for many years to come as, without an operational brake coach, it is difficult to run an economic train service.
It should also be noted that the Board are exploring funding options to try and get refurbished Mk1 coaches undercover to prevent deterioration again in the future.
