Volunteers...

The Dean Forest Railway is run by volunteers

If you would like to spend the occasional day helping out as a volunteer, why not check out our 'Support Us' pages to find out more.

There are roles for ladies, gents and even youngsters (under supervision). From track and signal repair, to fencing, painting, building, to loco, wagon and carriage restoration, to shop-keeping, catering, ticket selling and much more.

Suitable training is given, but often all you need is a little common sense and willing.

Why not find out some more. We'd love to hear from you!
