The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is operated by a combination of volunteers and paid staff. The contribution of all members is vital in running the Railway. You could be the person that keeps the NYMR working.
We are always looking for interested people who can spare some time, however little. There are a wide variety of activities that can be undertaken from footplate work, through to signalling, engineering, Guarding, Ticket Inspecting, shops and catering. You don’t even need any specific skills or previous railway experience, as full training will be given. You can turn your hand to anything, meet new people, and gain worthwhile skills and a real sense of achievement.
Our present volunteers come from all over the country, and even from overseas. Whatever time you have to spare, the Railway will appreciate your commitment. Volunteer accommodation is available. Working volunteers are entitled to a discount in Railway Shops and Tea Rooms.
