Wensleydale Railway - Definition and Overview

Wensleydale Railway plc took over running passenger trains on a length of the railway that previously linked Northallerton with Hawes in 2003: the railway had been almost closed apart from very occasional freight trains to Catterick. The line was a branch of the old North Eastern Railway opened in the 1850s.

From 2004, the Railway is running to Redmire, a distance of 17 miles.
