Cornwall-based railway, Lappa Valley, has announced that a full-time position has opened up, which people can now apply for.

They are looking for a Railway Operations Assistant to drive trains across their three narrow-gauge railways, maintain locomotives and track.

Following its 50th anniversary last year, Lappa Valley has seen most of the growth and investment, which has seen a new cafe, play area and a new train – City of Truro.

Applications are open to those aged 21 and over due to the safety requirements.

“2025 has been an incredible year for Lappa Valley, with a record numbers of visitors. We’re looking to evolve and expand our team in anticipation of another period of growth.”

“As well as driving regular services throughout the year, the successful applicant will also help maintain our fleet of 13 locomotives, passenger carriages, various wagons and over 2.5 miles of railway.”

“We’re a small and passionate team, and very lucky to be working with a variety of different locomotives. This is a year-round position, for an established and successful business and although we are looking for someone with experience, we will be providing in-house training too.”
