VOLUNTEERS KEEP THE F&WHR ON TRACK... We wouldn't VOLUNTEERS KEEP THE F&WHR ON TRACK...

We wouldn't be able to run our trains without the support of our loyal band of volunteers. Everywhere you look around the railway, you will see people who have chosen to come and work with us during their spare time or holidays - and we are forever grateful for their dedication...

They come from all walks of life, from all around the world, to do an enormous number of tasks - some in the public eye, some behind the scenes - all of which ensure the F&WHR can provide our visitors with a quality experience, on and off the trains.

Engine Drivers, Firemen, Guards, Signalmen, Tour Guides, Station Hosts, Gardeners, Handymen, Skilled Craftsmen - the list goes on and on. Each brings their own special talents and personalities with them. Some come to teach others, many come to learn, but all are welcome - and, once work is done for the day, it's great to socialise together as one big family..!

So, in recognition of #NationalVolunteersWeek, we'd like to say a hearty "Thank You !" to all our volunteers for their efforts over the years - from the early preservationists back in the 1950s, through to the present day...

If you'd like to get involved or find out more about volunteering with us, send an email to volunteer@ffwhr.com and we will get back to you with further information....

CELEBRATING THE COMPLETION OF THE INTERPRETATION A CELEBRATING THE COMPLETION OF THE INTERPRETATION AND BOSTON LODGE WORKS PROJECT…
On Thursday, 1st of May 2025, we celebrated the completion of a momentous £5m project, thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF).
The celebrations primarily took place at our Boston Lodge Engineering works, with our staff and volunteers, along with representatives from the Heritage Fund team and leaders from the heritage and tourism industries along with media outlets, all coming together to mark the completion of the project.
During the day, there were opportunities for visitors to take a tour around the site, admiring the restoration work that has taken place during the course of the project. There were also opportunities to speak with staff and volunteers about their role in the project and the numerous benefits it has brought to the railway and a special ceremony with speeches regarding the work that has taken place.
This was a fitting end to what has been a phenomenal team effort, made possible by the unwavering dedication of our staff and volunteers, support from local communities and the incredible support and funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The results of these efforts are now clear for all to see and enjoy for many years to come.
