The Suburban Electric Railway Association has responsibility for the restoration, maintenance and upkeep of many items at the Coventry site. Not all of these can be progressed and worked upon at once; they have to form an orderly queue until resources, that is money and volunteers, become available to do so.

On this page you can find details of all the projects that are currently being worked upon. Each one has a link to a new page with further, more specific, details.

Rolling Stock Restoration Projects

Class 503 EMU Restoration		2013 marks the 75th anniversary of the introduction to service of this unit and what better way to mark this event than with the launch of the appeal to get this unique survivor restored back to her former glory. The aim of the project will be a full body overhaul and refurbishment of the interior so the whole unit can be opened up and displayed to the public at the Electric Railway Museum. A new website for the project will shortly be launched so please check back for progress reports and details of how you can help the unit be back to her best for her 80th birthday in 2018.
