Membership
Join the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway for a range of benefits.
This is probably the most exciting time to join the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway since the 1980s.
We have completed the historic platform canopy dating back to Brunel’s day, even before our railway opened in 1866. Plans are in hand to bring in a historic signal box, and additional grants have enabled us to improve the station facilities at Wallingford. Plans are also being drawn for a station building at Wallingford.
The Benefits of Membership – Join now for one price through to March 2024
- The knowledge that your support is helping to preserve a part of our railway heritage.
- A free copy of "The Bunk" Magazine, which is produced three times a year, in the run-up to Easter, BunkFest, and Christmas.
- Travel Vouchers: your Membership card entitles you to four trips each year. Present your card at the Ticket Office for one return ticket which is valid for travel all day if there is space on the trains. You can also book online for £1 booking fee. Membership travel is available on most normal operating days except special events such as the 1940s weekend or the Santa Express.
- Enjoy a Members’ Day which is a great opportunity for members to visit Wallingford Station when it is not open to the public, to ride the train for free, and to give the staff feedback on how we are doing, and your ideas for what else we should be doing. The Members’ Day is likely to be in Spring, at the start of our operating year. You will receive details in “The Bunk” Magazine.
- The opportunity to become a working volunteer to help keep the railway in operation or help in restoration.
The easiest way to become a Member is online. You will receive your Membership Card and a copy of the latest Bunk Magazine (subject to availability) through the post. Alternatively, Membership forms can be picked up at Wallingford Station, are available on our trains, or downloaded in PDF format. Simply fill in and return to the station to a member of our Visitor Experience Team or via post.
