Crowdfunder Success

Posted on 1st July 2024 at 8:30 pm

After a remarkable eight weeks, which saw our humble unit featured in national newspapers and on the BBC One O'Clock News, our Crowdfunder has closed. We have raised a grand total of £14,201 from 455 different supporters. Although we didn’t quite make our stretch goal, we have the money needed to move the unit, plus a bit extra.

If you are one of the people who have claimed a reward, we will be in touch separately soon to get any further details we need.

To all those who contributed, whether through the crowdfunder or your membership subs, or some other donation — thank you for your generosity. The People's Train has been saved by the People!
