Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

In heritage railways, volunteers may work once a week, once a month or devote a holiday to helping out. Their services will be free, but their training costs will be much higher than for a single member of paid staff. Amendment 25 has been drafted specifically with heritage railways in mind. They have a predominance of volunteer support and many volunteers tend to travel some way to take up the duties that they love to perform, whether it is driving a steam locomotive or pulling levers in a signal box.
