An online funding page has been set up to repair a heritage railway carriage which was destroyed in Downpatrick.

It was targeted by vandals on Halloween night, resulting in hundreds of pounds worth of damage.

According to Downpatrick and County Down Railway, repairing the carriage will add to the "already huge workload" of it's volunteers.

They were also planning on using the train to be part of Santa's grotto train over Christmas.

The Railway has also added a button for donations on it's facebook page.
