NTHC - Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre
The Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre is the home of the preserved Great Central Railway in Nottinghamshire and is based in Ruddington alongside Rushcliffe Country Park. Along with access to nearly 10 miles of the ex. GCR mainline in Nottinghamshire, the Centre is host to a road and rail transport heritage vehicle collection, the Nottingham Society of Model & Experimental Engineers, a large model railway and the GCR Rolling Stock Trust. Ambitious plans are afoot to eventually reconnect the Centre and its section of main-line railway to the existing GCR based at Loughborough. This will provide visitors with the unique experience of travelling on one of the longest heritage railways in the UK in a realistic recreation of main-line travel of the 1950s and 1960s!
