North Yorkshire Moors Railway

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is a heritage railway running for 24 miles (39 km) through the North York Moors National Park, between Pickering and Whitby. It first opened in 1836 as part of George Stephenson’s railway network and was later revived by volunteers in 1973 after closure. Today, it is one of the most popular heritage railways in the UK, carrying around 300,000 visitors each year. The line operates with a fleet of steam and heritage diesel locomotives, offering services through iconic stations like Goathland, which featured in Harry Potter and Heartbeat. NYMR contributes significantly to the local economy, generating an estimated £30 million annually through tourism.
