The Hayling Seaside Railway is supported by the members of the East Hayling Light Railway Society.

Volunteers of both sexes, from many walks of life, and over a wide age range have become an essential part of the day-to-day operation and the future of our railway.

From a mere 10 members, when it was founded in 1988, the EHLR Society can now boast over 125 supporters, a number that is growing daily.

Engine Drivers, Guards, Ticket Sellers (a.k.a Clippies!), Shop Assistants, Track Workers, Carriage Builders and Locomotive Restorers, are among the many trades undertaken by our well-trained volunteers.

If you fancy volunteering to do something both rewarding and useful with your spare time, you will find we are not a bad bunch to join. So why not pay us a visit and have a chat with one of the operating staff? You never know, you might even end up with a cup of the infamous ‘railway tea’ in your hand!

Having joined the EHLR Society, we will be pleased to help you to train for the position to which you aspire.
