Iconic locomotive No. 60103 Flying Scotsman is scheduled to run a series of special services throughout October and November 2025.
In partnership with the National Railway Museum and Northern Steam Operations Ltd, the special services will operate on the NYMR line from 25th-29th October and 1st-5th and 8th-12th November 2025, as part of the nationwide Railway 200 celebrations.
Rail enthusiasts, families, and history lovers alike will be able to enjoy a nostalgic return journey between Grosmont and Pickering - a scenic stretch of the NYMR’s heritage line through the North York Moors National Park.
Flying Scotsman was built in 1923 and made history as the first UK steam locomotive to officially reach 100mph. A symbol of British railway engineering, it has captivated generations and most recently carried King Charles III along the very same NYMR route in 2023.
Visitors can pre-book seats for a return journey, with departures at 8:45am, 11:40am, or 3pm for approximately two hours 35 minutes of immersive steam travel. Other non-seat-allocated services between Pickering, Grosmont and Whitby hauled by different locomotives will be running on these dates and visitors are welcome to board these services with a valid Flying Scotsman ticket.
Tickets for the journey start at £54.50 per person and with the donation fare, the NYMR can claim Gift Aid for every £1 donated to receive an extra 25p from HMRC which will go towards the ongoing preservation of the much-loved heritage railway.
Laura Strangeway, CEO of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, said:
"We’re proud to welcome Flying Scotsman back to the NYMR as part of Railway 200.
This is a unique opportunity for visitors to step back in time and experience the golden age of rail travel in one of the UK’s most breathtaking landscapes.
It’s a celebration of our past and a moment to inspire future generations of railway enthusiasts."
