Sheff gefällt Jamessquareds Beitrag in dem Thema North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I think people are getting hung up on the term “park and ride”. Does the NYMR provide a sensible park and ride service to Whitby in the sense you’d understand it in other major cities? Of course not, it couldn’t provide a viable service on...

Will be visiting North Yorkshire in mid September so thought I'd take a look at ticket prices. The website is a tad confusing to put it mildly.

I think the lack Northern service changes is a bit of a red herring - the Esk Valley line is very badly capacity constrained, and Northern have limited flexibility.

Much as I would like the Railway to benefit, the Whitby bus operated park and ride is very useful and reasonably priced, £5.50 for a family of 4 for example. I have used it myself when I knew Whitby would be busy, and can recommend it. It does a...

Given that many people do drive directly to the event, hence the parking chaos in Whitby, it is possible. It's not necessarily the best idea, but it is possible. I don't consider a 2 hour train ride a viable alternative. A shuttle from Grosmont,...

I could understand a Grosmont to Whitby park and ride, but to add the whole line journey in makes it nonsensical. Say my three friends and I want to attend the event in Whitby. We can either drive to Whitby, and park wherever we can, or park at...

Sheff gefällt Sulzermans Beitrag in dem Thema North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It is not a park and ride service. That's silly nickname given to it by those who don't like the Whitby operation. Do people say Bishops Lydeard to Minehead is a park and ride? Do the WSR volunteers get shirty when people go to Minehead and get...

There's another tour from Manchester on Friday 30th October. https://www.railwaytouring.net/the-whitby-goth-express Doesn't show on the website though for some reason, but it was on an email that came through yesterday.

The RTC trip is October 9 the goth weekend at the end of the month. The RTC tour info also states "There will be just over an hour to explore Whitby at leisure. Famed for its maritime heritage and as the home of Captain James Cook, Whitby offers...

I believe that's the plan. Oil firing based on the design used in service in the late 40's and early 50's. Cylinder mods to make it more gauge friendly. But I don't think any serious work has commenced yet. It was all in one piece in the shed...

That's the thing. I don't think goths would be using the train to visit the goth weekend! But it's an off-season attraction in Whitby and people might want to visit for a few hours to see what the fuss is about. RTC wouldn't be running a tour...

As I understand it the NYMR’s plan is to get the Footplate Inspectorate trained upband sufficiently experienced first. They will then start to roll out a training plan for other footplate crew which will start off with classroom training in the...

The other question is would your regular target market even consider visiting Whitby on that weekend. Good luck to those that like it, but it looks like a weekend to be avoided with large crowds.

Also don't recall smells on the Rheine - Emden line during the 1970s - only the roar as they passed by !
