About

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) offers four fully accessible ‘fuss-free’ coaches - part of its long-term initiative to make the heritage railway attraction accessible to all thanks to funding secured from the Yorkshire’s Magnificent Journey project (YMJ).

The new fuss-free coaches have been specially adapted for everyone with access requirements, to accommodate them and their friends and family - each of them has ramps, fully accessible toilets and accessible seating for wheelchair users, so everyone can enjoy the 24 miles of stunning scenery that the railway offers.
