Voyager at full tilt on the Moors Railway

ONE of the country's newest commuter trains is making its maiden trip - on the North York Moors Railway.

The Virgin Voyager 221 is a new breed of diesels, designed to tilt to reach faster speeds.

Although the picturesque line through the North York Moors National Park is more used to old-fashioned steam trains, big crowds are expected to turn out for the special event, part of a weekend-long diesel gala.

Visitors from across the country are expected at the event, which runs all day today and tomorrow.

More information from the North York Moors Railway on 01751 472508.
