Sadly the new crossing at Sherringham cannot be completed this year as the cost has risen to £150,000, an increase of £50,000, partly because because there are more electricity cables that need burying than first thought. The money cannot be raised for the work to be done before the April deadline. Understandably Sherringham Council do not want work in progress during the tourist season.
It was always going to be a tight schedule so we will have to wait till 2010!
See new copy of Steam Railway for full details.
Best wishes,
John H-T.
