Great British Railways HQ competition (smartsurvey.co.uk)
Swindon has submitted a bid in the national competition to find the new home of the Great British Railways HQ. The Government is due to announce a shortlist of locations in May, and 41 other town and cities have also submitted bids – so competition is fierce! The benefits of the GBR HQ being located in Swindon would put Swindon on the map and support pride in our fantastic town. Public support is one of the main competition criteria. Over 2,000 people have already shown their support so far. It is a great opportunity to celebrate Swindon’s proud Railway heritage with your children.
