Blow the cobwebs away this festive season with a day out on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Our Winter Steamer services run daily from 27 December to 3 January, including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, between Pickering and Goathland. And the best bit? One child (4-15 years old) travels for free with every fare-paying adult, making it even easier to enjoy a festive family day out.
Climb aboard our cosy 1903 North Eastern Railway Autocar, or sit back behind one of our heritage steam locomotives as it climbs through the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Your ticket lets you hop-on and hop-off throughout the day between Pickering, Levisham, Newtondale Halt, and Goathland, so you can stretch your legs on a winter walk or spend some time exploring before catching a later train back.
Free Film Trail
The NYMR has starred in plenty of film and television productions over the years, including Harry Potter, Heartbeat, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, and our favourite, Steam Train Diaries (pictured).
Pick up your free self-guided Film Trail and discover where key scenes were shot along the line. Look out for signage at our stations and information on board as you travel.
Timetable
Req: Newtondale Halt is a request stop. Please let the guard know if you'd like to get off here, and give a clear signal to the driver if you'd like to board.
Autocar: Services in the shaded column are scheduled to be operated by our 1903 North Eastern Railway Autocar. All other services are scheduled to be steam hauled.

As the Autocar service has fewer seats available, we’d recommend booking in advance. If you’re flexible on timings, our later steam services offer a quieter journey through the frosty North York Moors, and with greater capacity on the later return trains, you’ll have plenty of room to sit back and enjoy the views.
