    Thanks Robin for all your hard work helping to achieve this!

    Could the railway now in theory ask for gift aid on ticket sales or is there still more work to do in that department?


    With the new Incorporated Charity (IC) is the swanage railway trust also being removed? So both the trust and existing company effectively all going into this new charity ?

    The answer is yes and err no. Depends on which ticket type I believe.

    Kind of you to say but this has very much been a team effort with many folk contributing.

    Gift Aid - Yes, that’s very much part of the plan and should be in place shortly.

    The intention is now to shut down the existing Trust and to have one single charitable body. There are some complexities in doing that and members and supporters of the Railway will be kept fully informed of the steps along the way over the coming months.
