North Yorkshire Moors Railway Car Park

Great afternoon out picking up the steam train at Pickering at 12pm returning at neatly 7 (£6 parking in the long stay, station parking was £5 but full), coffee on the train was £2.50 for a cup, cash or card with pin, no contactless... We went right through to Whitby, there the toilet was closed with the only public options being 40p each for the public toilets of which there were several. We went to Mr Chips by the beach for takeaway cod and chips for me and scampi and chips for my wife, both were very nice which we ate day on a wall by the beach before wandering along the pier. All in all a very good day out.

Large car park on the railway site, but is a couple of minutes to the ticket office. The ticket office seems to always have a large queue, so give yourself plenty of time ahead of your journey. It was £5 for all day parking.

Fantastic train trip from Pickering to Goathland. Staff very helpful. Very romantic experience, nothing like hearing a steam train pull away and hearing the whistle blow. Well worth the money for the experience. Car park good value and very short distance to station.

Visited on a Friday in June very quiet car park at 6pm when I arrived, staying overnight in back of car.. Just put £6 in the honesty box write your name, number and car reg and off you go. Had a walk round Pickering, plenty of pubs and restaurants. A nice place overall would visit again. Also 24hr CCTV surveillance which is good for car and personal security👍

Positives •friendly staff • great day out • clean •well run operation Negatives • is it good value for money? • on this day there was no toilets on the train • accessibility is not clear, Would have to struggle with the stairs.
