Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Heritage Railway ¦ A visit and tour along the line

The Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam railway is a lovely heritage railway in the southern border of the English Yorkshire Dales. Being in the area, I just “had” to take a tour along the line, explore the stations, look at the restored carriages and enjoy the sights and sounds of the heritage steam railway.
The 0-6-0 tank engine, Welsh Guardsman, was energetic and atmospheric as it pushed and pulled the carriages about for the passengers. I looked out for the 1903 Petrol-Electric Autocar but didn’t see it this time. I did catch a glimpse of the 6-wheel saloon dating back to 1899.
This is an extra video, a change from the regular schedule. I hope you enjoy watching it and feel that you have tagged along with me during my visit.

Doing the Faulty Towers trip here in September. I travel Pullman class to Carlisle through the lakes and back down the coast. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Linleys]

Now that sounds like a really good trip. Special. Did you book that yourself as individual parts or are the plans part of a group or scheme? Enjoy :) Warren

Thanks for the share

This one was an unplanned video but I'm pleased I produced it. The railway is lovely. Cheers, W :)

Sure is a lot of nostalgia there Warren. A fun day out. Thanks for sharing the train ride and history. Bushyboy Oz.

This was a cheeky extra visit on my way to the start of a walk. I do rather like visiting railway lines like this one - and this railway was most enjoyable indeed. Thanks for your comment as always, cheers, W :)

[@thebackyardrailroader]

you are so lucky to have a working station like that near you, I'm very jealous

[@Linleys]

Not so very near to my home really, it is over 4 hours drive away, but I was in the area at the time so wanted to enjoy a few hours there on the railway. It was well worth the visit. Do you have any restored railways anywhere near you at all? W :)

[@thebackyardrailroader]

@@Linleys I don't have any that run. there are museums but nothing runs sadly

[@EthanDolan61101]

Did you know that Thomas the tank engine lives there?

[@Linleys]

Ahh no I didn't know that. I'd have said hello to Thomas. I remember the stories when I was a kid. All good fun. Cheers, Warren :)

Lovely video. I am a member of the railway so I am interested in what you thought of it? Did you enjoy it, were there things that could be improved. Many thanks

[@Linleys]

I really enjoyed my visit and trip along the railway. I found the pre-booking on the website very easy, lots of information on the website which was very helpful. I arrived rather early and before the train was ready, so had time to wander and enjoy the station at Embsay. I was really impressed with the level of organisation from the team who were working on the day. I have been a Guard on the Bluebell Railway some years ago and know how much work goes in to getting a train ready for the first run out. The staff on the station were very friendly indeed, most welcoming. I enjoyed the run out and back and would like to have stayed for longer but didn't have the chance that time. I was hoping to get a glimpse of the petrol-electric unit but I didn't this time. All good indeed. Well done to the teams that worked hard on the day. Nice one :) W

I’m planning to go there for a trip and will let you know. Is there any car parking facilities there ? And what are the costs? Thanks

[@HM...333]

@@Faris0802 Yes, plenty of parking ( on tarmac with a bit of gravel as a sort of overflow) and it is free for all passengers traveling on the train. Hope that helps!

How much was a ticket

[@Linleys]

I am sorry but I don't remember how much the ticket was. I think it was a reasonable price and something like £12 return. Well worth the visit. Cheers :) Warren

[@kitheasman6311]

Eh up lad, what's Manchester go to do with it? The whole line's reet fairly in Yorkshire. By heck lad, Leeds is the centre close by, not Manchester. Anyways, well done lad; a fine visual experience!

[@Linleys]

Hey you are obviously right there; Leeds is the most local significant city. I can almost "hear" your accent when reading your comment Kit :) Cheers, W
