After months of careful planning and preparation, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway reopens today (Monday, 4 April).

New for 2022, the NYMR has launched a host of suggested itineraries to help visitors plan their journeys and make the most of their experience taking in all there is to offer along the line.

Throughout the year there’ll also be a number of exciting events taking place.

These include:

  • Annual Steam Gala (22-25 September) – a chance to experience a range of iconic steam locomotives, along with traction engines and the much-loved annual beer festival.
  • Light Spectacular (22-30 October) – enjoy an hour-long illuminated journey from Pickering to Levisham Station, with carriages adorned with 17,000 LEDs. A one-of-a-kind highly visual and audio-based event.
  • Santa Specials (Selected dates during December) – the ultimate family festive adventure on board the Santa Express and the chance to meet and greet Santa and his elves in a truly unique setting.
