Join the Dean Forest Railway Society today
– help preserve over 200 years of railway
history in the Forest for future generations The line began as a tramroad in 1810, and
was retained by British Railways until
1985. Today’s Dean Forest Railway
Society began heritage operations on a
small siding at Parkend in 1971, with the
aim of preserving and operating the last
remaining section of the Severn and Wye
Railway, moving to develop the Norchard
site in 1978, followed by extensions
towards Lydney Junction (1995) and
Parkend (2006).
The Society has been at the forefront of
the growth of the DFR, and today exists
as the membership body for the railway.
It raises funds for specific projects,
recruits volunteers, publishes magazines
and books, promotes the railway at
events and supports the DFR’s ongoing
development.
Receive a colourful, quarterly
magazine, packed full of news
and updates from the railway,
historical articles and much more.
Travel on the railway at a 50%
discount on normal running days
on production of a valid
membership card, plus cafe &
buffet discounts.
Influence the future of the
railway – an opportunity for you
to make and influence decisions
about the future of the railway.
Discount in the railway shop –
