    The list appears to be England-only. Presumably the Ffestiniog/WHR may be covered under a separate scheme for Wales?

    Some interesting omissions: Great Central; East Somerset; East Lancs. Wonder why they didn’t apply/qualify

    Is that another scheme again - not the same scheme as the DCMS or HLF schemes?

    It looks to be, is it for accredited museums perhaps?

    I'm 99% certain it's the same. The Culture Recovery Fund is administered at arm's length for DCMS by NLHF and the Arts Council. It might be a different sub-pot, but I don't know.

    The Wales scheme is being administered separately so no announcements yet about whether Welsh lines will get anything under the scheme.

    Another fund! I wasn't aware of this one (though it strikes me as bonkers to have multiple funds like this, with another DCMS body). Amberley did well to get two grants. Any others you're aware of?

    Thanks

    Disappointing that there is nothing so far for many of the smaller heritage railways. In my neck of the woods, nought for the Avon Valley, East Somerset, Dean Forest, Swindon & Cricklade & S&DRHT (Midsomer-Norton).

    I did hear that grants may be restricted to organisations that had previously had some form of grant, but don't know the details.
