There’s a chance to win a ride in the driver’s cab of an Elizabeth line train, as part of a charity raffle for a wide range of railway prizes.

There are just 2,000 tickets being offered, with 23 prizes — so far — so the odds of winning a prize are rather higher than the average raffle. The raffle tickets cost just £10 each, and you have until the end of this month to buy them.

Tickets are on sale from here.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.

Thank you

    Is this now sold out? Does it make sense for a charity raffle to sell out…?
