The Mid Hants Railway Preservation Society

MHRPS Local Groups information

The thousands of visitors who ride on the line each year generate the income to keep the trains rolling, but preservation and conservation are not cheap. It cost over £1,000,000 to relay the track from Ropley to Alton, even though the labour was voluntary. The Society uses members' subscriptions to provide additional funding for projects, thus membership is a very positive way of providing "armchair" support to the volunteers of the Watercress Line. In return you will receive 4 issues per year of the Society's colour journal Mid-Hants News, which is full of the latest news, information, features and photographs. For further information on Society membership please contact the Watercress Line directly or e-mail Alan Fairbrother, the Society's Membership Director. To join the Society (or renew your membership), please print and complete the membership form, and return it to the Watercress Line's Membership Director.
