Having got off the the train with two kids convinced they've just sat in the same seat Harry Potter did during the first film how can I say anything other than amazing, sadly the seats in Goathland dont say Hogsmead on them but hey the kids loved it.
Just them seeing the train emerge from a bank of steam was a special moment for my two who are all too used to diesels.
The journey it'self is through a very nice part of Yorkshire and I saw more than one train enthusiast having a nerdgasm whilst steaming along so well worth a visit for anyone with a desire to see either great scenery or a steam train and the final category of people just wanting to get from Pickering to Whitby.
The staff are all friendly and the on board refreshments are cheaper than a normal train still inflated but not so much that you feel ripped off
