The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is the UK’s leading heritage railway, carrying holidaymakers from the popular seaside resort of Whitby across the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors to the market town of Pickering. The line has been made famous by the TV programme ‘Heartbeat’, in which the station and village at Goathland features prominently as the fictional Aidensfield, and more recently by Channel 5’s ‘fly on the wall’ documentary ‘Yorkshire Steam Railway’. The author is not only a skilled photographer, but also a full time member of the railway’s staff, which gives him a unique ability to capture the behind the scenes activities on the railway.
