For many years, an historic brake van has been a
familiar feature at Tilia’s Hoveton Business Park site, marking its former
incarnation as a railway goods yard. However, we’ve decided it’s time that the
partially restored carriage should be returned to a railway organisation, where
it can be put to good use.
Tilia has much pleasure, therefore, in donating the
brake van to the LWR, Leiston Works Railway, a not-for-profit Suffolk based
railway preservation society, with the handover scheduled for 31st
October. Once the van has been fully restored it will be used to transport
visitors to the LWR along the works line.
We will also be allowing the LWR to remove a section
of the rails on which the brake van has stood during its time at Hoveton, along
with the stop end buffers, which will increase the size of the available staff
parking area at the business park.
We’d like to wish the LWR all the best with their
restoration project and look forward to hearing progress updates.
Hoveton is just one of business parks where Tilia
manage commercial properties. Take a look at our website for news of our other
