This fantastic guide traces the history of, arguably, the most popular
heritage railway in Britain from the origins of the line in the 1830s
through the good, bad and controversial times, up to the present day.
Every year since 1973, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has
transported hundreds of thousands of visitors in preserved steam and
diesel-hauled trains between Pickering and Grosmont through an ancient
landscape of unmatched beauty. When those trains started to run
regularly to and from Whitby in 2007, it revived a service started by
the Whitby & Pickering Railway Company back in 1836.
The history of the NYMR is a fascinating one that will do well to be
remembered. This book explores the journey, development and changes of
the NYMR and is a fantastic guide to how the railway industry has
changed over time.
