Volunteering on the Railway

The railway is maintained and operated by its' volunteers with the support of a small staff of dedicated and very professional men and women. They provide all the help and expertise required to enable us to be so successful.

Every aspect of operating and maintaining the railway is undertaken:  Station duties, booking office, shop, and buffet.  Train crews, both steam and diesel, including drivers, firemen, guards, and ticket inspectors. Permanent Way and Signal & Telegraph work.  The maintenance, repair, and restoration of carriages, wagons, and locomotives.  All these activities and more are undertaken with the enthusiastic support and guidance of our full time professionals. And on site we are all equals working together.

Without the volunteers the railway could not operate, so whether you wield a paint brush or a sweeping brush, a hammer and chisel or a screwdriver, a computer or a till, we need you.  Your help is valuable, so why not come along and share in the satisfaction of working in the company of a team of like minded achievers?
