Diary of Events 2008

Wensleydale Railway Assn

The Wensleydale Railway runs trains between Leeming Bar (near the A1/A684 jct) and Redmire (on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park), via Bedale and Leyburn.  The 17 mile trip takes approximately 50 minutes.

This is the first part of a project to restore the full 40 mile route between Northallerton (on the East Coast Main Line) and Garsdale (on the Settle-Carlisle Railway). 
Help us to restore the passenger service from Wensleydale to Northallerton.

Our trains are normally formed of heritage diesel railcars from the 1960s, which have large windows and a great view of the line ahead if you sit behind the driver.

Train services do not run every day. During May and June the service is as follows:

1 May to 23 May Trains run on Tuesdays, Fridays (except Friday 2 May), Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays 24 May to 31 May DAILY SERVICE DURING HALF-TERM WEEK 1 June to 30 June Trains run on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays

See our timetable for full details of the days on which trains operate from July onwards.
