Volunteer recruitment is very important for Llangollen Railway and 2023 will see activities showcasing volunteering opportunities, the first of which will see an Open Day taking place on Saturday the 25th of February.

The volunteer-run railway has exciting plans and plenty of volunteer opportunities for 2023 including:

• The opening of its brand new station in Corwen
• A busy schedule for train services
• Improvement work on both track and infrastructure
• The making of sandwiches, cakes and teas for serving
• Painting stations
• Running special events such as the railways Classic Transport Weekend

Llangollen Railway always has plenty to do and alongside the areas mentioned above is delighted to welcome people who would like to support its Business, Governance and Board management.

The railway would love to hear from anyone who has any interest in volunteering with them. People with prior experience, transferrable skills or specialist knowledge are welcome however this is not essential to volunteer with the railway.

Llangollen Railway wants to encourage people to give volunteering a go and often suggests trying something totally different from what they do in everyday life. The railway provides full training to all of its volunteers, whether supporting passengers at a station or rebuilding a steam locomotive.

The open day features a limited number of places, to book please email:  [email protected]
