The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has announced a new two-tiered ticketing system for its upcoming 2023 season. This exciting new initiative will provide customers with more flexible and affordable travel options on the legendary NYMR line. Set to launch in the spring of 2023; this new system will offer passengers a 12-month annual pass for year-round access. Visitors can pay £40.00 and visit as many times, for up to 12 months, on standard timetables services only.
Tickets Please
From April 2023, NYMR plans to remove child and family fares and peak off-peak pricing, replacing them with two adult prices: a headline fare of 40 valid for 12 months along the full length of the line, and a single-use shorter Journeys ticket for 15. Children (aged between 15 and 17) will travel free of charge at all times.
Since the pandemic we have had to adapt our ticketing model to fall in line with restrictions. Heritage railways were not designed to accommodate social distancing, limited capacity and timetable restrictions. Due to this, our timetable and ticketing have become increasingly tricky to manage and maintain. 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.
Laura Strangeway, Director of Corporate Services at NYMR
Not only will more people be able to access and use the railway, we are encouraging our visitors to Gift Aid at no extra cost to help relieve some of the pressures from our day-to-day operation.
As we prepare for the new season, our principal message is still the same – the NYMR is a place where people can come and explore the rich industrial, cultural and natural heritage – a committed railway charity that does more than just move people.
Tickets for the NYMR 2023 season are available from today, with train services operating every day up to the 5th of November 2023. For more information, go to https://www.nymr.co.uk/Listing/Category/book-tickets
