Pendennis Castle: A True Icon of the Steam Age at North Yorkshire Moors Railway
Park Street, Pickering, YO18 7AJ
10th - 11th October
We're delighted to be welcoming, No. 4079 Pendennis Castle to the NYMR, courtesy of the Didcot Railway Centre.
Over two weekends, 3 & 4, 10 & 11 October, this stunning locomotive will be hauling special return services, departing from Pickering Station, through the spectacular North York Moors National Park.
A genuine racing legend. Built at Swindon Works in February 1924, No. 4079 Pendennis Castle is one of the most celebrated steam locomotives ever built. In 1925 the Great Western lent her to its rival the LNER for trials against the brand new Flying Scotsman, and she outpaced the bigger engine while burning far less coal and water. She was soon billed as the most powerful express passenger locomotive in Britain.
Two services per day – choose Morning or Afternoon.
Upgrade your journey
Make your Pendennis Castle journey extra special with our luxury enhanced Souvenir & Snacks Package for £60 per person (inc. travel). You’ll receive a commemorative Bridge 42 magnet and keyring, plus a drink from the buffet and a traybake or biscuit as you travel through the North York Moors National Park.
