Steam, ghosts and half term on the Moors Railway
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs an adults-only ghost train from Pickering and trick or treating at three stations over half term
Add to my dayOfficial website ↗

Pickering is about fifty minutes from Thirsk, which makes the Moors Railway a full day out rather than an afternoon. Over half term it has two things on.
Mad Alice's Ghost Train is an evening ride for ages 14 and up. Over half term the stations put on trick or treating, and one child travels free with each paying adult.
