Main Line Preservation Group

The Main Line Preservation Group was an organisation formed in 1968,[1] "to acquire a suitable length of main line, for the operation of steam hauled passenger trains, at realistic speeds".[2] The organisation's contemporary literature and advertising claimed that it was negotiating with British Railways for 18 miles of the former Great Central Main Line between Leicester and Ruddington.[3]
