You must be a member of the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society for the current year before setting up a Direct Debit Instruction. You cannot pay for new membership or renew your membership for the current membership year by Direct Debit. Once you have joined or renewed you can set up a Direct Debit for future years at any time provided that Direct Debit instructions are received by the end of December for the following year.

If you are not yet a member, please click here to sign-up first.

If you wish to set up payment for a member or members who are not registered at your address, please set up a separate Direct Debit for those members and inform the Membership Secretaries concerning who the renewal should cover. Alternatively, you can download a manual form here and send this to the membership secretaries.

The Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society (“TRPS”) is using Payment Solutions Limited (“PSL” or “PSL Ltd”) trading as SmartDebit as its agent to collect Direct Debit payments on its behalf. SmartDebit is a Direct Debit bureau with a full infrastructure to operate this process on behalf of the TRPS. If you have any concerns or queries these should be directed to the Honorary Treasurer or the Joint Membership Secretaries.
