Further Notes
RAF Cranwell Railway.
ACD unknown. Closure date given as 'November 1926' or, in some instances, 1927.
RPSGB p506 shows service for personnel only. Much anecdotal evidence suggests service was utilised by general public. However, given that the service was almost certainly not advertised, the line's inclusion here is probably not justified.
Confirmation either way would be greatly appreciated.
*Approximate mileage. See 'The RAF Cranwell Railway' A.J. Ludlam LP169 OP 1988.
