Volunteer Recruitment Day.

Intersted in becoming a Volunteer on the Caledonian Railway. We are holding a Volunteer Recruitment Day on Saturday 13 June 2026. For more information email - volunteer@caledonianrailway.com.

We will be running trains with departures from Brechin at 11AM and 1PM, there will be time at Bridge of Dun to speak with our volunteers there and explore our station too. A trip of the train is a great chance to speak to our volunteers on the train so you can see first hand yourself what it takes to run the railway.

What’s happening and where?

In Brechin station there will be volunteers from our Steam department, Brechin station and shop teams.

At Bridge of Dun there will be volunteers from our diesel group, permanent way (track), ticket office and Bridge of Dun station staff around to speak to you about these departments.

It’s never too late to get involved and you never know what opportunities may arise from volunteering! If you can’t make this coming weekend.
