Cranwell Railway

Cranwell Railway. A Royal Navy Officers ticket with a June 1917 print date from this military line branching from the GNR at Sleaford to serve the Royal Naval Air Service base near Cranwell.

The branch is recorded as having had a regular passenger service from 1917 to November 1926.
