Welcome to the

Barry Island Railway

Membership and Volunteering.

Becoming a member can be very rewarding; not only are you helping out a voluntary organisation ...its also great fun too!

This unique and rapidly expanding line is always seeking new volunteers to help run the railway in a variety of departments. If you have ever wanted to help run a railway, this could be your chance!

Why just watch, when you can take part in running a railway? You will receive a quarterly magazine bringing you up to date with recent developments, future plans, events and topical articles.

Volunteers at work.

Working parties take place every weekend, but the office and station staff would also welcome your help any day midweek.

Whether you can come once a year, once a month, once a week or even every day, you will receive a warm welcome. For those wishing to engage in practical restoration and maintenance work, you will receive a safety induction and be introduced to those in the department that you wish to work .

We hold a recruitment weekend once a year, please come along and see what we can offer. No obligation to join and we would be pleased to show you around. Watch this website for further details.

Even if you are unable to take an active part in the running of the railway, your support would be welcomed.

Please phone us, or call into Plymouth Road Shed at Barry Island any Saturday.
