Donation Fares

Help us to preserve our historic railway at no extra cost to you by choosing the Donation Fare.

By paying the Donation Fare, you make an additional voluntary donation of 10% of the fare, and in return we will give you a voucher of this value to spend in our cafés on tea, coffee or cartons of juice. Please request a Basic Fare if you do not wish to pay the Donation Fare, but note that you will not receive a voucher.

If you are a UK taxpayer you may be able to Gift Aid your Donation Fare, meaning we can claim an extra 25% of the fare from the Government at no cost to you. Gift aiding is extremely beneficial to us and aids our ongoing preservation efforts.

We also encourage the optional £1 donation that Carbon Offsets your journey – we invest it in projects that further our Carbon ‘Net Zero’ ambitions.
