I thought it would be nice just to reflect back on my recent trip up to North Yorkshire. This is a place I love, and would live there given the chance. Not only the railway, but the overall beauty of the wild and stunning countryside and moorland has to be appreciated.
Levisham station is an Edwardian structure. It nestles at the bottom of the valley in Forestry Commission land and this alone is a stunning feature. Only recently have the station lamps been converted to electricity.

A little novelty we found at Goathland station, a 'Fergie' on a flat bed carriage.
