I'm heading for a night here on the 2nd January, Just wondering if there is anything Railway related nearby and if anyone has stayed what's their review

Many Thanks  :beers:

York Railway Museum is a must see.

North York Moors Railway - 26 miles north at Pickering is seemingly not running while you are there.

Its great for one or two nights. The rooms are somewhat tight on space and not what you would call luxurious by any means but then how often can you look out of your bed and see main line trains passing?
If you want to know what trains are going by there are two web sites you could look at
Try this and track north a bit (left then diagojnally up) http://raildar.co.uk/map/YRK
Or this one http://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/yrk#LINK_1

Thank you guy's appreciate the replies, York Railway Museum it is :) Thought for some reason it was a lot further but I should have actually checked guessing a nice day out there :)

I'll check the link's you've sent me when at home, Work have them blocked but It'll 'Keep me quite' for a bit

:beers:

Ditto - an easy journey and there is an online map so you can see which stop in the city centre is nearest the museum, but a walk across the city via the cathedral from the first stop in the centre area is worthwhile.

PS - the museum runs a raid train from near the cathedral direct to the front door.

No way I thought these were only abroad lol. Last time I was on one of these was a child in Spain. So much nostalgia for me. Used to bug my Nana to go on it everyday :)


Drakken

I'm spent up unfortunately :(

Although I was extremely fortunate over Christmas and think I couple of weeks without packages arriving everyday might go down better lol

Don't forget to wear a body belt or truss to protect you from the stop-start jolting as the train makes its way through the mayhem of traffic. :D

Cutty Blacks models is worth a visit (S York - via bus) - get a day bus pass on the bus - cheaper
