A HERITAGE railway that has been running for 50 years has launched a major fundraising drive to keep it going for another half century. Some £2.5 million is needed to secure the future of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR). The railway has already been given a £4.6 million Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant, as part of its £9.2 million sustainability project, called the Yorkshires Magnificent Journey Appeal, but the NYMR has to raise around another £2.5 million from members, passengers and the public over the next five years.
