Helston Railway Preservation Society was the result, back in 2002 of a vision by a small number of enthusiasts to re-open a section of the Helston branch line. We now have a fully functioning standard gauge heritage railway.
Helston Railway welcomes dogs to all areas, including in certain areas of our buffet carriages and on the trains to and fro from Prospidnick.
