Become a North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam loco driver!

Allan is my Dad! Happy memories of my childhood chasing steam trains. Super proud of him ❤

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

He’s a top bloke! He knows his trains! 🚂👍🏼

2:05 I meet Allen (A true gent) on my visit, he also held our dog for a picture. Thank you for the talk on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Hubby loves this railway. Dont get to visit it ofter enough. He used to volunteer on the Peak Rail line (until we moved) after we bought him a footplate experience driving a steam train.

[@maggiemitchell4359]

Hopefully people volunteer to keep this railway going for ever,thanks for the video😍

[@jillfoster6369]

Fabulous ( as usual). We have been watching John Sargent, Piglett and Peter Davison on their journey from London to Scotland by steam only.

I saw you filming this. And I can say that becoming a volunteer is definitely worth it. Personally I’m a junior volunteer. It takes you to all sorts of places the public can’t go. Or at least without trespassing (please don’t ever trespass. It’s very dangerous and you can be fined £1,000 for it). Anyways lovely video as usual. Thanks for bringing these things up and partnering with the railway i dearly love and live on.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks a lot 👍🏼 keep doing what you’re doing! 🚂🙌🏼

Fantastic video when I was growing up I can't so many steam engines in the railway stations and in the steam sheds in Leeds. What's a fantastic opportunity.🚂

[@pauljakeman]

Awesome video. My great grandad used to be a steam train driver! Apparently he always called steam trains “proper trains”. He didn’t like diesel and electric trains one bit.

Andrew, many thanks for your Cinder Track videos which inspired me and two cycling mates to come up to Yorkshire. We enjoyed the trail, spent a couple of nights in Whitby and travelled on the railway to Pickering. Great fun.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Brilliant! Love hearing that! Glad it sounds like it was worth the trip 🙂

[@macjim]

Been there, seen it, got the t-shirt 🚂 I used to be a fireman and steam locomotive driver on the Bo’ness and Kinneil railway in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@nicholaspodesta52]

I don't care if it's a short video I just love watching your videos because your voice is so calming and your videos are so interesting. Good health to you and your family. I look forward to your videos. Highlights of my year for me🤙

[@sephirothff7ps164]

As an ex british rail trackman signal man id love to volunteer to do track maintance but unfortunatly due to ill health im unable to give my service, i remember watching the video you did on the footplate andrew and ive watched it twice, looking forward to you next video, best regards from chris E -yorks. 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Chris! Sorry to hear about your health. I hope you’re still able to get on the railway & enjoy it.

[@mlowbridge2988]

Watching this makes me wanna be a train driver

[@christelbraune4530]

Toll gemacht. Danke ❤😂

[@deewaters8994]

Great as usual.

[@asbonescemetery]

Brilliant video thank you

[@iangill8984]

We are booked on a dining journey for our wedding anniversary in September. I come Middlesbrough and my wife from York though we now live elsewhere. For my 70th birthdayy we stayed Helmsley with our children and a daft dog who loved the beach at Sandsend . Hutton le Hole, Whitby, Sandsend, Saltburn etc are places we love. Any chance of a Helmsley area video.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Hopefully at some point. So many great walks around that area. My murder on the moors video was very close to there.

[@christelbraune4530]

Hallo Andrew Alles okay bei dir. Habe mal wieder Sehnsucht gehabt nach einem Video von dir. Bis mal wieder. Ok👍👋👋

[@DS-cf1zc]

I would love to do this, but will need to convince my boss to allow me to return home to Yorkshire. However knowing it is the 50th anniversary means I will book a ticket and ride Whitby to Pickering in the summer for a day out.

[@ab_railways_original]

It’s well worth it

[@TheWacoKid1963]

What's the music at the end, it sounds very Lindisfarne-ish

[@hosscartwright5495]

👍

[@adamquirke6024]

People must pay an absolute fortune for a driver experience there. A return ticket is expensive enough

[@SamThompson-mr9rt]

Hi

[@jamminwithmatt5313]

For free F that! Cheap skates!

[@britanniafirst1254]

Once you can stand the bullying that goes on and the crap management based at Pickering....and the less savoury aspects of being with a bunch of trainspotters.....then you might fit in.

[@paulbaker8003]

@francis.bourgeois you would like this!
