Running a preserved railway requires effort and dedication, but is a fascinating, varied and rewarding task. The railway is always looking for people who can spare a few hours of their time every week, every month or even every year to take part in the ongoing task of running and maintaining the railway and enhancing its facilities and attractions.

We need people of all ages, and special skills are not required - any training needed can be provided. Enthusiasm is the main quality we're seeking! If you join our team you can be sure your help will be well-used. There are endless jobs to be done:
