The North Yorkshire Moors Railway has launched a major volunteer recruitment campaign to fill hundreds of varied roles across the organisation, as it prepares for its 2022 season opening in April.
A registered charity, the railway says it needs between 300-500 hours of volunteer support every day to bring their story to life.
As well as working on the locomotive footplate, volunteers are needed within our Infrastructure and Motive Power departments, to assist with the full breadth of civil engineering, building, electrical and mechanical work - not to mention the maintenance, repairs and overhaul of the fleet of historic steam and diesel locomotives.
Other volunteer roles include travelling ticket inspectors, signalling and telecommunications, customer service, retail, catering, fundraising and education. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is one of the most popular heritage railways in the UK and an accredited museum, helping to deliver the aims of the Charitable Trust.
Marcus Aldrich, Head of Volunteer Development for the NYMR, commented:
“Volunteers are the lifeblood of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; it’s a challenging but hugely rewarding opportunity - with the offer of experiences that money just can’t buy.
“You don’t need to be a train enthusiast or know all the lingo, and we’d love a whole cross-section of people to apply. We’re particularly eager to recruit more female volunteers across every department.”
