Volunteer Opportunities at Severn Valley Railway & Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Heritage railways are always a good source of volunteer opportunities and this spring two of them are looking for volunteers to help with their running. The Severn Valley Railway has appealed for volunteers to help when Railway 200's Inspiration touring locomotive returns to its Kidderminster station in Shropshire at the end of May. The Railway 200 Inspiration exhibition train will arrive for half-term on 23 May and will allow visitors to "explore the railway's 200-year story of innovation" until 31 May. Visitor engagement manager Lewis Maddox said that "This is a fantastic opportunity to volunteer and be part of something truly special, supporting visitors, bringing the exhibition to life, and helping create memorable experiences for families during the half-term holiday."
