For two-days only, travel back in time by steam locomotive and blow those post-Christmas cobwebs away! Enjoy a festive journey between Leeming Bar, Bedale and Leyburn and a complimentary mince pie and hot drink served on board!

Black Five steam locomotive No. 45212 will be operating two-days of steam services between Leeming Bar and Leyburn on 28 and 29 December 2024.

You have a choice of three trips per day to choose from and can depart from Leeming Bar, Bedale or Leyburn stations (with a request stop at Finghall station).

Leeming Bar departures: 10:00, 12:20 and 14:40

Bedale departures: 10:10, 12:30 and 14:50

Leyburn departures: 11:20, 13:40 and 16:00

All tickets are Rovers, so travel on any service from any station on the day.

Our station cafes and shops will be open at Bedale and Leyburn, serving a selection of hot and cold refreshments. Unfortunately, there will be no café facilities at Leeming Bar station as it’s still set up for Polar Express.

For customers travelling by car, please note that there is no car parking available at Leeming Bar Station or on the street outside. There is, however, very limited parking available at the former Vale of Mowbray factory overflow carpark, situated immediately behind the factory site at Low Street, off Leases Road. Alternatively, you can board the trains at Bedale Station (DL8 1AW) where there is ample parking in the town.

The return ticket price will be £25 for adults and £5 for children (aged 3-15). Booking is essential to avoid disappointment.

All passengers will be served a complimentary individually wrapped mince pie and a hot drink (tea, coffee or hot chocolate). There will also be the option of a gluten free mince pie or a flapjack, and children can receive a Fruit Shoot or water.
