  • Positive news for the heritage rail sector: the Office of Rail and Road and the Health and Safety Executive have published new guidance clarifying how young people aged 14 to the minimum school leaving age can volunteer safely on heritage railways and tramways. This long-awaited guidance sets out how young people can safely take part in activities such as station operations, passenger support, restoration skills and locomotive preparation, all under appropriate supervision. Young volunteers have long been central to the heritage railway movement, with many going on to build careers across the rail industry. The timing feels fitting too, arriving just before our Junior Volunteer Week (27/6 to 31/7). At the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, we welcome this development and look forward to continuing to inspire the next generation of volunteers, engineers and heritage railway enthusiasts. #HeritageRailways #Volunteering #RailIndustry #NorthYorkshireMoorsRailway

  • Several brave members of North Yorkshire Moors Railway staff and volunteers are taking on England's only bridge bungee jump to support the Bridge 42 Appeal. On 20th September, the group will jump from Larpool Viaduct in Whitby, organised by UK Bungee Club, to help raise funds towards the £800,000 needed for stabilisation and permanent repair work on Bridge 42. Peter Fisher, Digital Marketing Campaigns Lead at NYMR, said: "It's been great to see the group of us come together for this, from various areas of the railway all with the common goal of raising money to protect the heritage railway we love so much." Almost £400,000 has already been raised. Support the jumpers and help protect this vital piece of heritage infrastructure: www.nymr.co.uk/bungee

  • Help to save a crucial link in the NYMR's story 🚂 Our Bridge 42 Appeal is a vital fundraising campaign to repair one of our busiest and most historic bridges. Built in 1836, Bridge 42 has carried generations of trains between Grosmont and Goathland and will celebrate it's 180th anniversary this year. Today, after nearly two centuries, the Grade II listed bridge urgently needs major repairs to remain safe and operational. Every year, around 10,000 locomotive and train movements pass over Bridge 42. Without this work, services will be disrupted, so this appeal is crucial for the future of the NYMR. As a charity we rely on the generosity of our supporters to protect our railway and keep steam trains running for generations to come. Please donate if you can to help us save Bridge 42. Thank you! To donate, visit http://nymr.co.uk/bridge42

  • We are pleased to share that, following a review at NYMR, a four-coach teak set of carriages will return to our Pickering to Grosmont services in time for the Annual Steam Gala (24th-27th September). The four teak carriages in question are three LNERCA (LNER Coach Association) vehicles – brake coach 43567 and coaches 23956 and 56856 - plus NYMR’s own accessible coach, 42362. Laura Strangeway, Chief Executive of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, commented: “We are very happy to see the teak carriages return to the track this year. The heritage appeal of the coaches is undeniable and I’m sure they will enhance our passengers’ visits to the Annual Steam Gala as they travel through the stunning scenery of the North York Moors National Park in such style. “We would like to thank our colleagues at LNERCA, our Carriage and Wagon team and everyone who has championed the restoration of these stunning teak carriages.” Further updates and information on the Annual Steam Gala will be available in due course via the NYMR website and social media channels. 📸 John Hunt
