Review of North York Moors Railway

...look no further than the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. It is often referred to as the "heartbeat" railway .This is due to the line travelling through Goathland better known as Aidensfield of course , to millions of TV viewers in the long running 60s police drama Heartbeat.

I travel on the route at least twice a year in different seasons as the bleak landscape changes almost monthly as the calendar moves on. The line runs from Grosmont to Pickering calling at Goathland , Levisham and Newtondale halt along the way. Grosmont pronounced ...

On the 20th/21st of October every year, the railway running from Pickering to Grosmont passing through, Goathland AKA Heatbeat village, Newton-Dale, and Levisham. Is "transformed" back to the 1940s, with sounds of air-raids, singing from the big band hits like Glenn Miller and songs from Vera Lynn. There are "jitterbug" dancers whom dance on the platforms, and NFS - National ...
...Re-enactors participate in original forties clothing this could range from, children acting as evacuees or the men in R.A.F - Royal Air Force - uniforms. I myself have done these weekends for about 4/5 years now, and always look forward to this event, its a chance for the people of the town in Pickering to come togerther and the public almost feel as if they are in fact stepping back in time! I wear the NFS and do many Fire Displays. However GERMANS ...
