At long last the share issue for the final push toward East Grinstead has been released. They are trying to raise £4,000,000 to dig out the cutting and refurbish the viaduct to complete the link.
As a bit of a sucker for infrastructure projects myself, I will see if I can scrape together the minimum £250 for an application by 31st December. You only get a couple of 3rd class tickets per year for that, which seems a bit mean, and last share issue they even stopped that benefit after a few years.
Of course, after you turn up to use your free vouchers, you end up spending at least another 50 quid on other stuff anyway. I couldnt afford to keep using my "free" vouchers after a while.
