It is with great sadness that I have to share the passing of the Nene Valley Railway’s Vice President Charles Swift OBE.
Charles sat on Peterborough City Council for more than 60 years and served as the youngest ever Mayor of Peterborough. He was also a railwayman starting his career working on steam at New England.
Charles was influential in supporting the foundation of the NVR and remained a great friend of the railway, more latterly in his role of Vice President.
Our condolences go to Charles’ family and many friends.
Mike Kerfoot – Chairman
