Volunteer

There is always something needs doing at Epping Signalling Museum! We've got a 96 year old tube locomotive to look after, a 78 year old signal cabin to maintain and many nearly 100 year old artefacts to arrange and keep in good condition. Then, during the season, there's our visitors to show around! Add to all this, we have some major works going on during our closed season - the BIG one at present is replacing all the rotten decking in front of L11.

So - do you fancy a challenge and try joining our small but friendly team? There's plenty of other things you could help us with too. You don't need to commit to regular attendance and we can be flexible about the days you are available.

The former Relay Room, where we display much of our London Underground railway memorabilia, would always benefit from new ideas and a new pair of eyes.

Our volunteers have already built from the ground up am 11 lever air worked lever frame based on North Acton and we're now working on plans to make the Museum more appealing for families with children.

Our visitor numbers continue to increase every year, encompassing local families all the way through to experienced train operators and signallers. We've also had visits from societies, London tourist groups and even TV's Michael Portillo and the former TfL Commissioner Andy Byford - all enjoying that 'something a bit different' experience.

We need volunteers who could become guides. Are you a 'people person' who would consider becoming a guide, or perhaps learning how the lever frame works and take on the role of a demonstrator signaller? You might get to meet some interesting people! If you have already worked on the Underground or main line railway, your knowledge and skills would be invaluable.

This page only gives a flavour of all the tasks the volunteers perform. If you'd like to find out more before committing, even though we're closed to the public we still answer emails, so why not send us a message, or post on our Facebook page?
