More volunteers are needed to help out on a range of tasks at the ever-popular miniature railway at Burnley s Thompson Park.
Whether selling tickets, replacing sleepers, doing joinery, painting, maintaining plant, machining parts, being a guard, cleaning stock and locomotives, gardening, helping visitors or keeping the railway tidy – all the tasks needed to maintain and operate the popular miniature railway are carried out by volunteers.
Mike Bailey, honorary secretary, said: "We always need people, male or female, who are skilled or adaptable, regardless of age (minimum 16) who can give time, regularly or not, and are willing to learn while enjoying working with others.
