The mile long narrow gauge railway has operated along the seafront of Hayling Island since 2003 running between the seaside shops, pubs, cafes and amusements of Eastoke Corner, along the coast of Hayling Bay to the funfair at Beachlands.
The railway was built and is now run entirely by volunteers.
Trains are generally pulled by diesel locomotives, usually steam-outline loco ‘Jack’. Although from time to time steam locomotives are hired in to add that special extra magic!
The Trust are keen to hear from anyone with a little time to spare, who would like to join the friendly team of volunteers who keep the trains running.
Whether you aspire to be a Driver, Guard or ‘Clippie’, serve customers in our shop, help maintain our track, or work on our locomotives, carriages and wagons in our Eastoke Corner depot, no previous experience is necessary as full training will be given.
