Helston Railway Preservation Company
- Helston Railway Preservation Company
The Helston Railway Preservation Company is a heritage railway rebuilding part of the branch line linking Gwinear Road (on the Cornish Main Line) to Helston, in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Rebuilding work is centering around Trevarno Gardens. Just under a 1/4 mile of track has now been laid at Trevarno.
The line has five rail vehicles on site so far: a two-car Park Royal (BR Class 103) DMU, two Ruston & Hornsby 165DS diesel shunters and a BR 20 ton brake van. All of these vehicles are owned by members of the Helston Railway Diesel Group who are actively restoring all of these vehicles. The line is being built entirely by volunteers and is funded only by donations and membership subscriptions, and by members who buy shares in the Helston Railway Preservation Company Ltd.
Visitors can visit the Helston Railway via the Trevarno estate where an entrance fee is payable, however, members of the railway are entitled to a 25% discount on entry upon production of a valid membership card.
