A POPULAR heritage railway has announced the introduction of a 12-month annual pass and that children will travel for free.

From April 2023, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) will switch to a new two-tiered ticketing system, which will see the introduction of a 12-month annual pass.

With this pass visitors will pay £40 and visit as many times - for up to 12 months - on standard timetables services only. 

In addition to this, from April NYMR has announced that children (aged 15 and below) will travel free at all times.

The heritage railway will remove child and family fares and peak/off-peak pricing, replacing them with two adult prices - a headline fare for £40, valid for 12 months along the full line, and a single-use shorter journeys ticket for £15.

Laura Strangeway, director of corporate services at NYMR, said: “We’ve listened to our visitors and simplified the offering with the view to providing better value for money, enabling more visitors to access the railway and see the full works of the charity.” 

Tickets are now live for the NYMR 2023 season which restarts on March 27, with services running every day until November 5.
