The Moors Railway (NYMR) is to launch a film trail to showcase the locations that have featured in world-class films and TV series.

The new film trail will be available for visitors to experience from Monday 1 July and will be a permanent addition to the NYMR.

The Railway hopes that both movie buffs and rail enthusiasts will follow the trail and visit locations where some of the most well-known films in cinematic history were filmed.

The locations feature on a map that accompanies the trail and guides visitors to the relevant spots. Visitors may collect the map from the Booking Offices, or downloaded it from the website.
