WITH North Yorkshire regularly proclaimed one of the top places in the country to see ghosts, October visitors are being invited to explore the myths and legends aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

They are giving the Halloween season a ghoulish touch with story trains and trails for families, and venues of paranormal encounters at each stop along the way.

“Whether you are looking for fiendishly funny witches and wizards, or exploring some of the myths and legends along the railway line, you are more than welcome to climb aboard one of our services during October half term,” said interim marketing manager Laura Hepburn.

“Our ever-popular story trains will see our very own witches’ coven playing tricks and telling trails on October 30 and 31 and we’ll have a fun trail running the whole length of the line for families, with a chance to win a family ticket, throughout the holiday week.”

October half term is the last full week of operation for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in 2015. Services run every day between Pickering and Whitby until November 1, with daily timetables and fares available at nymr.co.uk
