All aboard! A popular railway in Norfolk is on the hunt for new volunteers.

The North Norfolk Railway, more commonly known as the Poppy Line, is looking for more people to help operate the railway.

An Open Day is scheduled for April 27 allowing potential volunteers to interact with current volunteers and get an in-depth view of what running a railway entails.

Volunteer coordinator Laurie Ling said: “Each year our brilliant team of volunteers get involved with almost every aspect of railway life.

"From the people assisting you on the platform and in our shops, to those driving our locomotives and maintaining carriages our visitors will meet many of our volunteers when taking a trip on the Poppy Line.

“Our volunteers have a variety of reasons for joining the railway.

"Sometimes people think they have to have a lot of railway-knowledge or experience elsewhere, and whilst some of our team are very passionate about heritage railway preservation, others want to learn new skills and keep active or are simply looking to meet new people.”

The Open Day will run from 9.30am to around 12.10pm.
