How Can You Help?

What Can YOU Do?

Bala Lake Railway, in common with nearly all heritage transport operations can only exist with the valuable help given by volunteer workers. The economics of running a 2-foot gauge, narrow gauge, railway in the heart of Wales mean that permanent posts are at a premium.

All jobs are open to people of either sex, young and old alike (subject to some sensible restrictions) - no matter whether you have railway experience or not you will be made welcome.

Contact the railway today for more details - email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Without a regular 'squad' of volunteers to carry out all types of task from Eco-Maintenance and Management through Carriage & Wagon Maintenance to Train Crews, Bala Lake Railway may not be the happy, friendly visitor attraction it is today.

Every hour of your given time is valuable and we thank you in advance for give us your time.

You could:

* Learn to fire & drive our steam locomotives
