Railway Conservation. Run by Volunteers. Not for Profit.
As a registered educational charity and an independent, not-for-profit organisation, we must raise 100% of our running costs through earned income, such as fares. We can only continue to operate the UK's busiest heritage railway with the much-needed support from businesses, trusts and foundations, community groups and generous individuals like you.
