Yorkshire Steam Railways

Life on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, following an eventful week during which plans are made to welcome star steam engine Royal Scot to the heritage railway.

The start of the Easter timetable at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway finds marketing manager Laura devising a stunt to capitalise on the Tour de Yorkshire cycling race.

A summer heatwave threatens to bring the railway to a halt as the iconic steam engines are prevented from running through a tinder-dry national park.

Preparations are under way for Yorkshire Day, including a special Yorkshire-themed Pullman service.

Plans for the annual Gala Festival are jeopardised when a fault requiring the involvement of a specialist engineer is spotted in one of the engines due to be involved.
