    Hi all

    Has any one else thought what is going to happen to the heritage lottery fund once the Olympic games has finished? As I recall they split the four funds up into five so as some of the money went to the Games.

    I hope they put it back to as it was, so we can have a bigger slice of the cake again.

    Regards

    Hopefully, we will get back to money being available for preserved railways with the knock-on effect of bringing income to the area near the railways who receive this funding.

    As a council tax payer in the Greater London area, the supplement to this tax which I have been forced to pay ("legal robbery") for the Olympics should stop and I'll have funds to support my favourite railway (guess which one!).
