The quoted cost of the project escalated. SVR News Winter 2020 quoted a figure of £80,000. The Charitable Trust's planned 2020 appeal had aimed to raise £250,000. The Home and Dry appeal was for a revised project cost of £425,000, later increased to £475,000 because of the 'spiralling cost of steel and additional improvements that are needed inside the works'.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/blaug21 Branch Lines August 2021]</ref> When the project was phased, the first phase costs amounted to £380,000.
