Since Saturday 18th February 2023 Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group (ARPG) who operate Doon Valley Railway have initiated a crowd funding campaign to save Doon Valley Railway. This follows the recently disappointing news from the owner who currently leases many of the buildings to ARPG, expressing they now wish to sell the buildings Doon Valley Railway lease for operations.

Your support for Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group (ARPG) who operate Doon Valley Railway (DVR) now means more than ever and will shape and secure our future. It has been announced (February 2023) by the owner of the buildings we currently lease from them, that they intend to place the buildings up for sale within the next six months in order to sell them off. The buildings and areas the ARPG face losing are: Ticket Office, Gift Shop, Customer Toilets, Exhibition and Artefacts Room, Volunteer Rest Room, Signal Box Cafe, Museum, Joiners & Metal Shop and the associated grounds surrounding this area.
