A Burntwood heritage railway project’s museum has been boosted by a grant to help cover costs during the coronavirus crisis.

Chasewater Railway has seen its museum and facilities closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The organisation had [previously launched a funding appeal](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/chasewater-railway-launches-fundraising-drive-after-coronavirus-sees-train-services-hit-the-buffers/) to help replace lost income.

Efforts have now been boosted by a £3,745 grant to help cover the site’s electricity bill from Arts Council England’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund.
