Classic Cars join Classic Engines on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway

Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 July 2015

There will be classic engines on the rails, and classic cars by the side this weekend (11 & 12 July 2015), when stations along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway turn their car parks over to vintage vehicles of all shapes and sizes!

Each day, Levisham, Goathland and Grosmont stations will play host to over 150 classic cars and vehicles, from Ford Capris to classic Jaguars, and Morris Minors to vintage Bentleys, where visitors can relax with a refreshing pint from the real ale bar as they continue their exploration of the classics of motoring.

“Many of these vehicles are works of art in their own right, so even if you are not a huge fan of historic cars, they are wonderful to look at – each lovingly cared for, and many of them painstakingly restored, by their owners,” comments marketing manager, Danielle Ramsey.  “For enthusiasts, this is an amazing day out with our trains providing a fantastic way of travelling between the three main venues!”

Indeed, passengers boarding the train at Pickering will also enjoy a treat at the station, with a 1946 Leyland Titan double decker bus and a small collection of classic cars on display outside as visitors arrive at the historic railway’s terminal.

At Levisham, passengers will be able to relax as they enjoy their liquid refreshment to the sounds of Jive Express, who will be performing in the paddock next to the platform on both days from 12 noon until 4.00pm.  Admission is free for those with a valid travel ticket, or just £5 for those reaching the station via an alternative means of transport.

More details and the full timetable of rail services is available online at www.nymr.co.uk, with pre-booking strongly recommended as services can be busy during the summer months.  Day rover tickets cost from £20 for adults, £17 for concessions and just £10 for children, with family tickets (two adults and up to four children) available for just £44.00 for the route between Pickering and Grosmont.  Under 5s travel free.

Bookings can be made online by visiting www.nymr.co.uk or by calling 01751 472508.
