Foodie train trips launched on North Yorkshire Moors Railway

The announcement includes a range of food-themed journeys and passenger experiences, set against the scenic backdrop of one of the UK’s most beloved heritage railways.

Among the highlights is the Fish & Chips Service on April 25 and April 29, which features freshly prepared fish and chips from the award-winning Capplemans of Pickering.

Guests will enjoy a relaxed dining experience as they travel from Pickering to Goathland and back, with tea, coffee, and an optional homemade cream scone served on the return leg.
