GCR Break Through!!!

Post by Mercator II »

Here's some excellent news from the GCR, I cant wait till 2015 to be able to ride the full 18 miles, good luck to all involved

Now where are they going to put the shed? Rumour has it that the planned site of the old tip isnt suitable now as not stable enough, could they incorporate it at the planned Leicester North development with the NRM? Loughborough will seam weird with out the shed bu I dont think there is enough room for a new shed and the running line and Quorn would be my choice, but has it got enough space?

They've got until 2015 to build the bridge over the MML, the 'gap' won't be completed for a few more years yet!
New shed, there was talk of building a new shed at the side of the current shed, although there's not much space. The bridge will be single track, so there could be, but I'm told the GCR are looking for a more suitable site. Quorn is totally out of the question by the way....
