Objectives

The Poulton & Wyre Railway Society was formed in 2006 to act as a catalyst to re-open the railway (the line) between Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood. We continue to push that cause by using our knowledge and influence to assist and support any proposal or scheme to achieve this.

We are now working to establish a Heritage Railway Centre with a museum, offices, workshops and track located on or adjacent to the railway line. The intention is to promote interest and advance public education in the history and heritage of the railways by the acquisition, preservation, restoration, operation and display of historic items of rolling stock, equipment and artefacts.

You can read more detail on our about us page.
