Membership of ACoRP
Membership of ACoRP is open to community rail partnerships, railway development companies, promotional groups and 'station friends'.

Full membership entitles organisations to take an active part in ACoRP's work which includes a range of seminars, training events and promotions.

Members get all ACoRP publications, including Train Times, Train on Line and specialist reports.

Generally, we encourage rail re-opening groups, rail user organisations and local campaigns to join RailFuture or Campaign for Better Transport, with whom we work closely. Heritage railways are encouraged to join the Heritage Railway Association.

Groups eligible for full ACoRP membership pay:

Full Fee (funded organisations usually with paid staff) £150 plus VAT a year
Reduced Rate (unfunded voluntary organisations) £75 plus VAT
'Station Friends' groups which are wholly voluntary: £25 plus VAT per year

Note that 'station friends' groups in Greater Manchester are entitled to free membership.

Why not become a ACoRP Accociate?
If you are not a Community Rail Partnership or Station Friends Group but would still like to support ACoRP then you can become an associate.
This means you will get news of what ACoRP is up to and your subscription will also be helping the development of Britain’s community railways! 

If you subscribe you get a ‘starter package’ with all publications we publish in the year, and discounts on our conferences. Voluntary groups pay £40 (£47 including VAT) a year, and other bodies pay £80 (£94 including VAT).
