Membership And Volunteering

New Members, please read below for information

If you have an interest in railways, become a member of the Nene Valley Railway. 

Membership is Annual with renewals due during January of each year.

Please be aware that some of the roles require a level of fitness and that you are over 21 due to the role being Safety Critical.  General volunteering is for those aged 18 years and over.

The advantages include:

  • An interesting magazine on NVR related topics published every three months - "Nene Steam"
  • 50% Travel concessions: Except Special Events and Santa Travel
  • Free train travel for working members on production Membership Card/NVR Badge when on duty
  • The opportunity to become a working member and help us to run the railway line.
    Nearly all of the people that you will see operating the railway are volunteers - from the engine driver to the person serving in the shop. Some jobs may require a period of training. One thing is for certain, you will enjoy your time with us and make some great, new friends.

Would you like to Gift Aid your Donation?

I would like the Nene Valley Railway to reclaim the tax on this and any other eligible donations or membership subscriptions that I may make in the future until further notice. I understand that I need to pay enough Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in each tax year to cover the Gift Aid claimed on all my donations to charity, otherwise it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

If your tax circumstances change, or if you do not wish Gift Aid to apply to any specific donations, please contact us on 01780 784444 or email adminassistant@nvr.org.uk.
