Our aim is to support the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) and in particular but not exclusively, the P-way dept who maintain the track. We are a charity in our own right (Charity number 1073653).
We are mainly comprised of NYMR members who mainly live in the York area but not exclusively. For those who just want to attend the meetings, these are open to the public but if you join the group then a discount on admission is available.
To become a York Area Group Member it only costs £2 per year, for which you not only support the Group's efforts but you will save £1 per attendance at our monthly meetings. Please contact the group secretary for details via the contact page. What better way to view the working Steam and Diesel trains in the scenic Yorkshire Moors than from the trackside while helping and working for the NYMR!
Our prime source of income is through recycling of paper and aluminium, in which we have been invoved for over 30 years. In which time we have shifted a few thousand tonnes of material to help towards funding for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
The NYMR is one of the longest preserved railway lines in the UK with 18 miles of track running through the North Yorkshire Moors with Steam and Diesel trains with historical rolling stock.
The York Area Group website of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway was created in October 2009, therefore it is very new and under development, please keep checking this site for updates. Please use the menu on the left to look around this site and see articles and pictures of the work carried out on the track and the Pway rolling stock by the York Area Group for the NYMR and Pway department.
