North Yorkshire Moors Railway

Thanks, Sara! Just so everyone knows, though, you can only book online if you are buying one of the 12 month Rover hop-on/hop-off tickets for £49.50. If you buy a ticket from just one station to the next, you have to purchase it at the station (one ticket is £13.50).

Thanks, Mardee, I should have included the specifics! Yes, you can book online to get the all day, hop-on, hop-off ticket for 49 GBP (adult). This is what we plan to do, rather than buying tickets at the station on the day of travel. But it's a good option for limited trips.

As the website states:

Shorter Journeys

Our Shorter Journey Tickets offer day return travel between up to two neighbouring stations at fixed fare prices starting from £13.50 plus Kids Go Free!

Shorter Journey Tickets are not available in advance or online. Purchase them from a Station Booking Office on the day of your visit."

I can't wait to take the trip from Pickering to Whitby! I will be there in mid-April. When are you there, Sara?

Mardee- I'll look forward to hearing all about your adventure! We will be there in late September, in time for the annual Steam Gala! Should be fun!

Oh, that will be fun! Lucky you! I will definitely let you know how it goes!
