The North Yorkshire Moors Railway has announced that 46100 Royal Scot will be replacing 70000 Britannia to haul February Half Term specials.

The news comes after parts being needed for vital repairs to 70000 Britannia, but there has been a delay in getting these.

Tickets are priced at £45 per adult, with the NYMR’s Annual Pass being valid on services.

Royal Scot will arrive via the mainline, so keep an eye on our Mainline Steam Page for timings!

Laura Strangeway, Acting CEO at NYMR said: Sometimes these things happen in the railway world with delays to repairs, but we are so excited to be open over February half-term, and even more so now that Royal Scot is involved. It’s set to be a real spectacle.
