About us

The Vale of Berkeley Railway Charitable Trust is working to re-open part of the Sharpness Branch line to passengers.

We are repurposing the former freight exchange sidings at Sharpness as our headquarters, having moved out of the Old Engine Shed down by the Docks.

 

The result will be a new heritage railway attraction and educational facility, enhancing the local community.

Buy the VoBR a coffee

To help fund our new rolling stock shed and machine shop at Oldminster Sidings, we’re asking you to donate us £10 (or more) every month.

 

£10 a month is less than the price of a barista cup of coffee every week. It’s about £2.30 a week or 30p a day!

 

If all our members and supporters could donate £10 a month, we’d soon be building our new rolling stock shed and machine shop at Oldminster Sidings. Please click on the button below or for more details see our Donate page. Thank you!

JustGiving does not charge us a fee for their donations platform. Instead, when you donate you can choose if you want to contribute towards their running costs.
