Breaking News

Doon Valley Railway are expanding the line!

DVR has received authorisation to return back to Minnivey Station near Dalmellington which was the original location of Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group. Before DVR can achieve getting back to Minnivey Station various areas of track improvements must be made between Laight Level Crossing and Minnivey Station. This will re-establish the connection between Waterside and Minnivey, linking both communities within the Doon Valley. 

 
A further detailed update on projects will be displayed on the website in due course which will include exciting details of a proposed new and improved Dunaskin Station! 

Donations

Please Help!

Running a heritage railway is an expensive business we have several projects that we are running to help with the visitor experience and with our restoration efforts.


ARPG have a dedicated Fundraising Committee of volunteers who complete and despatch applications for grant funding, alongside your donations, but these take time and sometimes aren't successful, so your donations are essential in helping us run the railway.


If you wish to donate to help the future of the railway please use the link below.
