We are asking for your help with a rare and exciting opportunity. A 2-car Class 117 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) has unexpectedly become available for purchase, and the Trustees believe it could become one of the most valuable operational assets on the Avon Valley Railway.
Opportunities like this are rare for us. After a detailed inspection by our Engineering Team, we are confident that this unit is in very good condition and has the potential to support the Railway's operations, sustainability, resilience, and long-term future for many years to come.
We have began acquisition of the unit; however, we urgently need your support to ensure it arrives at the Avon Valley Railway safely and has a secure future.
