Membership

Please support the railway and become a member of the Poulton & Wyre Railway Society. Our new objective is to develop, over time, a Heritage Railway Centre adjacent to the live line.

We already have a Fowler shunter under refurbishment and very nearly ready for on rail operation, along with a DMU and an L&Y Vintage Carriage also undergoing restoration, and an LNER Gresley Teak pigeon carriage for refurbishment as a static workspace.

Benefits

Once you have joined us you can, if you wish, become a working volunteer and attend the sessions on a Saturday morning and a Wednesday morning, helping fellow volunteers to carry out the many tasks associated with the estate maintenance of our work site, refurbishing of the carriages and promotion of our cause.

The benefits of being a member are the opportunity to work alongside like-minded men and women, making new friends, learning new skills, out in the fresh air and keeping fit.

We also publish a magazine "On Track" free to members.
