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 anyone unable to take up this Share Offer, or those who wish now to purchase more, the Society runs a Share Purchase Scheme.

The basis of this scheme is that you 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 you some of its own shares.

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

Once a shareholder, you 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 confirmed that benefits, as shown in the 2008 prospectus, will continue to be distributed in 2013 (based on the shareholding registered to you by the end of 2012), in addition to which there is a new "Platinum" level of shareholder benefit (15,000 shares or more).

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
