The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is running a ‘Fight for Vera’ Fund and the aim is to have the 3672 Locomotive back on track for its 75th anniversary, which will be in 2019. That dream can only turn to reality if given support. A poly-tunnel frame will be erected at Grosmont Station during the summer in order to protect the “Dame Vera Lynn” from any further deterioration and from the oncoming winter months.
The Moors Railway have already been running several fund-raising events and have even launched a beer, aptly named ” Vera’s Rail Ale”. A 2014 Raffle is in process with the star prize being 2 Eurostar Tickets (first class travel!). Raffle tickets are available from the Pickering Station Shop, Customer Services and the Fund directly.
If you would like to support this very worthy cause and do your bit to ensure the Dame Vera Lynn gets back to “full steam ahead” in 2019, please visit www.dameveralynn.co.uk .
