FOR ITS ANNUAL GALA

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway has confirmed that next month’s Annual Steam Gala will feature a full steam locomotive programme, as steam has returned to the popular heritage railway following recent fire restrictions.
A line-up of over a dozen incredible locomotives will make their appearance at the NYMR Annual Steam Gala, which runs from 22nd to 25th September. The BR Standard 5 No.73156, which will be visiting courtesy of the Great Central Railway in Loughborough, joins LNER A4 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ No. 60007 and No. 85 Taff Vale Railway Class 02 on the guest locomotive list at the highly-anticipated event, where visitors can also experience a host of exciting events and activities including:
- The Annual Steam Gala Beer Festival at Goathland and Levisham stations, which will showcase a selection of real ales and ciders from local breweries including Breworks at Pickering, Whitby Brewery, Helmsley Brewery and Yorkshire Heart;
- Pickering Station will host an array of trade stalls featuring railway memorabilia and model railways;
- At Levisham Station there’ll be a demonstration shunting trains including Piglet’s Steam tram Lucie. There will also be a working display of vintage stationary engines, and the Levisham Station Tea Hut will be open for refreshments;
- At Grosmont Station, visitors will be able to visit the engine shed and see some of the restoration projects currently taking place.
