Support Groudle Glen Railway

The railway is an Isle of Man registered charity operated entirely by volunteers and relies purely on train fares, fundraising activities and the generosity of grant organisations, trusts and individuals to whom we are extremely grateful.

If you can help support the volunteers at the railway there are a variety of ways to donate and help support the running costs of the line further restoration & development and help to ensure it survives for future generations to enjoy.

“The Line that goes Uphill to the Sea” This unique line was built in 1896 by Richard Maltby Broadbent as part of the new Groudle Glen pleasure grounds. It ran as a tourist attraction until the early 1960’s when it fell into disrepair, and during the 1970’s the line was scrapped and the rolling stock sold.

The line was saved from total extinction by a band of enthusiastic volunteers in 1982, reopening to passengers in 1986.

Today the line is a registered Manx charity, still run entirely by an enthusiastic group of volunteers that provides a

fun, nostalgic day out for all ages, whilst restoring and maintaining an important piece of Manx railway history for

this generation and many more to follow.
