SubscribeFollowing the Railwatch 83 report about integrating preserved railways back into the network, it appears there is growing pressure on the Nene Valley Railway at Peterborough to take on a local transport role, in some sort of partnership.
A long-standing ?Crescent Link? plan exists to enable Nene Valley trains to reach the west side of Peterborough station by building a short chord line.
Railworld, which is also at Peterborough and is supported by RDS, has been granted ?£40,000 to allow it to develop further. Railworld is open to the public and aims to build a new showcase exhibition building as well as a conference centre and a rail-integrated transport theme park.
The present exhibitions include Rail and the Environment, a small rail industry showcase and a Global Rail Travel display, in association with Leisurerail. More details: Richard Paten, Director, Railworld, Oundle Road, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire PE2 9NR.

Rail users are encouraged to join Railfuture to help us campaign for a bigger and better railway - membership for individuals is just £20 per year
Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.
Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.
Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.
