Along with most Heritage Railways, we have little income, but still have outgoings. Please spare the cost of a Cup of Coffee to help us to keep open as soon as possible. RHTS has a wide range of rolling stock, and runs selected stock on open days. With over half a mile of track, there is scope for variety.

We are currently renovating some of our rolling stock, and undertaking all routine safety checks. In addition to the Station buildings, and track, the Society owns the Goods Shed & Yard. This provides a large undercover area, whilst preserving the heritage of the area. We will be using both the inside area & the area around the building for many of our forthcoming Events.
