Photographs of the Alice in Wonderland Story Train

North Yorkshire Moors Railway, 26 July 2013

Photographs have been released of today's Story Train on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.  Families were entertained by a host of characters from Alice in Wonderland as they travelled along the line from Pickering to Grosmont and back, stopping off at each station along the way back for a different fun activity.  Links to the photographs (available free of charge) can be found at the bottom of this email.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway Story Trains run each Friday during the school holidays.  The themes for the remaining Story Trains throughout the summer are:

2nd August – Hogwarts

9th August – Pirates
16th August – Nursery Rhymes
23rd August – The Hobbit
30th August – Fairies

The Story Trains leave Pickering at 10.00am each Friday, returning at 2.40pm.  Visitors are advised to wear appropriate clothing for the weather (including plenty of sun cream if the weather remains hot) as some of the activities take place outdoors.   Tickets for the return trip cost £19.50 for adults and £10.00 for children, with a family ticket (two adults and up to four children) available for just £39.00.  Pre-booking is strongly recommended, by calling 01751 472508 or visiting www.nymr.co.uk

Every other day, children travelling along the NYMR this summer are invited to take part in Tracker Jack’s fun trail, spotting clues at the stations along the line.  Every participant is also invited to take part in a free draw to win family tickets for a return visit to the railway over the next 12 months.

For visitors who are happy to enjoy the trip along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway without the activities, there are services running every day throughout the summer between Pickering and Whitby.  As part of NYMR’s 40thanniversary celebrations, the world’s most popular heritage railway is also offering special week-long tickets, ideal for those holidaying at any point along the line, which cost £39/week (Pickering to Grosmont) or £49 per week (Pickering to Whitby) for an adult, or just £78/£98 per week for a family of two adults and up to three children for unlimited travel for seven days.  These summer holiday tickets are available exclusively from NYMR booking offices.
