North Yorkshire Moors Railway

Let the North Yorkshire Moors Railway take you on a nostalgic journey back to the glorious age of steam. Travel through 18 miles of stunning countryside, in comfortable carriages, through picturesque stations pulled by a majestic steam locomotive. Simply enjoy the peaceful timelessness of it all.

Running between the picturesque market town of Pickering to Grosmont, 18 miles away, the line travels through some of the most dramatic scenery in Britain. The first stop after Pickering is the remarkably isolated station of Levisham, in a location which has not changed in over 100 years and is remarkably untouched by modern day influences.

From Levisham it is only a short ride to Newton Dale Halt which is a request stop only and is situated in the midst of Newton Dale forestry and makes an ideal stop for both walkers and cyclists.

Back on the train, the track climbs steadily through the breathtaking North York Moors National Park to the beautiful country station of Goathland. This station regularly appears in Yorkshire Television's 'Heartbeat' series as 'Aidensfield' and recently hosted the film crew and actors for the new Harry Potter film 'The Philosopher's Stone' where Goathland appears as 'Hogsmead'.

The journey continues on through some of the most exciting scenery of the whole line and arrives at Grosmont, located just 6 miles away from the seaside port of Whitby.

Darlington Railway Centre & Museum

This year we celebrate one hundred and seventy six years of railways in the town, railways which have changed the face of travel and changed the course of history.

Located within the grounds of Darlington Railway Centre are Darlington Railway Preservation Society, the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group.

The society was formed in 1980 to preserve local relics of the Railway Heritage of Darlington. Inside the workshops are several locomotives that were either built or spent their working lives in and around the Darlington Area. These include a diesel shunter, which worked at Cleveland Bridge when they were based in Smithfield Road, an electric locomotive from the Darlington Chemical Works on West Auckland Road, and No39, a large 0-6-0 Tank Engine, built at Robert Stephenson's works in Thompson Street.

The Society's biggest project is the full restoration of the BR 2-6-0 Mixed Traffic loco 78018. This engine was built in the North Road works at Darlington and spent much of its life working between the Western and the Eastern side of the Pennines, over the ferocious Stainmore Summit. It is expected to take several years to complete the rebuilding of this engine and it is hoped eventually that 78018 may run over the line from Bishop Auckland to Eastgate (The Weardale Line).
