The Wensleydale Railway Association (WRA) is a membership body which campaigns for the reinstatement of the railway from Northallerton to Garsdale.
It established Wensleydale Railway plc which is now responsible for the operation of the existing line. It supports the development of the Wensleydale Railway with fund raising and its members provide the volunteers who work for the plc and make the line viable.
You will find many examples of volunteer activities on this site.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Trespass on the railway or lineside is a criminal offence.
The ONLY circumstances in which anyone - WRA member, WR shareholder or employee - may walk on the 22 mile section from the run-out loop near Castle Hills junction to the present end of the rails at Redmire is when they hold a valid WR Personal Track Safety Certificate and have a DUTY to be on the line at that time.
In the interest of railway safety, the WR will not hesitate to prosecute trespassers.

The closed railway line between Redmire and Garsdale is private property.
Membership of the WRA or shareholding in WR plc does not confer the right to walk upon it, except along the few sections where there is a public right of way.
