Sir Gary gives his backing

Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire said: “I was shocked and dismayed to learn what had happened to some of Yorkshire’s most treasured and historic train carriages this weekend. However, what has been utterly heart-warming to see is the way the community of Yorkshire has once again come together in the face of adversity.

“The North Yorkshire Moors Railway has been inundated with supporters rallying round to make every effort to restore and repair these wonderful carriages and to help the railway continue to welcome thousands of visitors.”
