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 usually 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.

Trains do not operate every day: see our timetable for details of the days on which trains operate during October, November and December.
