Not already a member? then Join the BRPS.

In 2008 the Bluebell Railway Plc invited applications to purchase shares in the Railway. This Share Offer closed on 31st December 2008 and the minimum purchase was £250. For members of the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society who were unable to take up this Share Offer, or those who wish now to purchase more, the Society has opened a Share Purchase Scheme.

The basis of this scheme is that members commit to making a monthly payment by bank standing order to the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society, in return for which the Society will transfer to the member some of its own shares.

Alternatively, members contributing a lump sum of £250 or more may purchase shares from the Society immediately.

Once a member is a shareholder they will be entitled to any shareholder benefits at the time such benefits are issued. If benefits are to be given to shareholders they are normally distributed during January or February based on shareholdings at the end of the previous year. The plc have now confirmed that benefits, as shown in the 2008 prospectus, will continue to be distributed in 2011 and 2012.

To apply to join the Deferred Share Purchase Scheme, or purchase shares with a lump sum, please print out and complete the form here (pdf format) and send it to
