Our Aims

Electric Railway Museum Limited was formed by members of various electric traction preservation projects in a 'coming together' of both minds and resources for the common promotion of the cause within the UK railway heritage movement because it was commonly felt that representation of electric traction preservation was severely under achieving and needed:

1) A permanent home that would be the centre of operation and display of principal artefacts and

2) A cohesive collections policy that focused on what was going to represent development of the form for future generations.



    



The aims of Electric railway Museum are two-fold:

  • To advance the education of the public in the history, science and engineering of electricity and its application in railway transport
  • To preserve, restore and operate for the public benefit items of historical, engineering, scientific, socio-economic or architectural value relating to the subject of electric railways

The Electric Railway Museum project is very much a 'Work In Progress' with the project in its embryonic stage. With the support of people like you together we can make this ambition a reality.
