THE North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) and National Railway Museum (NRM) have both announced plans to reopen during May following the Government’s easing of lockdown restrictions.
NYMR trains will recommence operation on May 15 with two trains running to Whitby every day from then on, together with an intermediate service between Pickering and Grosmont. The Pickering-
Whitby trains will run on a pre-booked end-to-end basis, while the Pickering-Grosmont services will enable passengers to de-train at Levisham and/or Goathland also. All passengers aged 16+ will, unless exempt, be required to‘Track &Trace’, adhere to social distancing and wear a face mask.
The line’s popular‘Moorlander’ Pullman dining trains will resume from May 20, operating Thursday to Sunday every week throughout the season, and plans are in place for an Autumn Steam Gala on September 22-26.
