No.8 the railway's only oil-burner has undergone a major re-fit during recent months. Images provided by Brian Lowe show the new look to this now coal-burning loco. I bet it will turn heads once its in traffic. If you have images of this loco and would like to share them on this site contact Allan Shirley.

VOLUNTEERING I wonder how many of you have ever considered volunteering on the Bure Valley Railway and then decided not to proceed further. Why not?......... I would not be at all surprised if the answers to the above question are as follows- I have no useful skills to offer the Railway I cannot spare enough time Every one who presently is either paid or is a volunteer is an expert. If the above answers are the one or more that you gave then you could not be more wrong.

Guarding

So you think that you would like to be a guard? If you like the public and are confident in dealing with them you have the basics. However guarding is not just about blowing a whistle and waving a flag – far from it. You, as guard, are in charge of the train and are responsible for the safety of your passengers.
