The North Yorkshire Moors Railway will run a gothic-themed Christmas train journey this December featuring macabre storytelling and sinister characters.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is launching a gothic-themed Christmas experience this December. The hour-long steam train journey runs from Pickering to Levisham and back, featuring ghostly tales, dark festive legends and a cast of sinister Christmas characters.

The experience will be hosted by Mad Alice from the Bloody Tour of York and promises macabre storytelling and humour. Passengers will encounter a mischievous Father Christmas, a twisted Bloody Sugar Plum Fairy, and Krampus, the horned Christmas nightmare. Laura Strangeway, CEO of NYMR, said the railway wanted to 'offer something that feels completely different to the traditional Christmas celebrations' and that 'from the moment guests step on board, they can expect plenty of laughs and festive frights, all set against the atmospheric backdrop of the North York Moors'.

Tickets are priced at £35 per person for those aged 16 and over. Advance booking is recommended due to limited availability.
