A multi-million pound museum is to be built for the only heritage railway of its kind in the UK. The museum would be built close to the Leicester North station of the Great Central Railway, which spans Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. It is intended to be a 'significant annex' to the National Railway Museum.
