Come and join our volunteers!
​
Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Severn Valley Railway - they help to give us our unique character, and we simply could not operate without their commitment and skills.
Help is needed across all aspects of the Railway, from operating our services and running our locomotives, through to assisting visitors, serving in our shops, and even gardening! You don't need to have any previous experience of working on a railway - full training will be given where required. So come along, share your existing skills, gain some new ones, and make some friends along the way!
