Introduction
The aim of the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway Association (EVRA) is to support the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway by providing volunteers to help with its operation and maintenance.
Plus to protect and provide an educational and fun interpretation of the historical interest to both 'EVRA' members and the general public.
The Association itself was formed in 1997 and became a charitable company, limited by guarantee in 2004.
Meet our new Treasurer!
