There are trains available on New Year's Day to Whitby and the Esk Valley.
The service has been limited in previous years but not this time around.
Special Northern trains from Darlington, Thornaby and Middlesbrough along the Esk Valley to Whitby will include calls at Glaisdale for impromptu performances of clog dancing, at Grosmont for the nationwide ‘whistle off’ at noon to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the opening of the World’s first public railway – and then on to Whitby for fish and chips and perhaps a paddle!

Alan Williams is the group's chairman:
Alan says they've ensured that the twin services today will travel further than usual and that the group's work has been recognised nationally:
