In a word, John. No. If you volunteer, you are responsible for your own expenses. Some Railways will offer a discount on certain items to working members, but as for paying expenses, forget it. I spent several years helping out on 70000 and never got anything in return. (Except "Thank You" when the job was done.) I never expected anything either. 60+ miles each way Loughborough to Bridgnorth and back each time, I was lucky that there were a few of us in the area and we could split the petrol money between us.
