Steam train on North York Moors Railway lit up with more than 17,000 lights

The Train of lights that will be operating between Pickering and Levisham on the North York Moors Railway.

Lights, camera, traction … the Illuminated Light Spectacular, one of the highlights of the year on the North York Moors Railway (NYMR), is back again next week.

With just one week remaining to buy tickets, families can make light work of the dark autumn nights with a trip to the NYMR on its Light Spectacular express, an immersive steam train experience.

The audio and visual sensory event, running over the October half-term holidays, features one of its famous steam engines illuminated by more than 17,000 LED lights.

Compered by TV’s Voiceover Man Peter Dickson (X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent, Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway), the hour-long Light Spectacular runs from Pickering to Levisham twice every evening from October 22 to October 30 at 6pm and 7.45pm.

Admission includes a flashing wristband which syncs with the onboard show.

Tickets £30pp – with some discounts avaiable – visit www.nymr.co.uk/event/light-spectacular to book yours.
