North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has announced the launch of its all-new Santa Specials services. Offering families an enchanting Christmas experience like never before for 2024. This festive season join in the fun on your journey through the stunning North Yorkshire Moors. Where you will meet a cast of jolly railway Christmas characters and become part of the story.
Santa Specials Dates
These delightful new services will bring the festive season to life. Dates include: 30th November, 1st, 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th December 2024.
Starting the adventure at the beautifully decorated Pickering Station, visitors will be greeted by twinkling lights, real Christmas trees, festive decorations, and the joyful sounds of Christmas music filling the air. Children will have the chance to visit our festive signal box, and families can take a Christmas selfie, pop into the charming Christmas tearoom for an indulgent hot chocolate and mince pie, and browse through festive stalls brimming with holiday treats and unique, exclusive gifts, in the Christmas emporium.
One of the highlights of the Santa Specials is the opportunity to meet Santa Claus himself! Each child will receive a unique Edmondson Railway ticket, a nod to the traditional system for recording railway fares introduced in the 1840s, as a keepsake of their journey. Furthermore, they will receive a limited-edition toy to take home to commemorate their Christmas trip.
