Mince Pie Diesel Specials

Diesel fans, end the year in style with a trip behind 47714! This will be the first time that the loco has operated a public service on our railway, since our purchase earlier this year!

Enjoy a festive journey between Leeming Bar, Bedale and Leyburn and a complimentary mince pie and hot drink served on board!

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

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 will still be 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.
