The Suburban Electric Railway Association has responsibility for the restoration, maintenance and upkeep of many items. Not only the EMUs, locomotives and rolling stock at the Coventry site but also the infrastructure such as track and buildings on the site itself. 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.
