The NYMR season finally got underway on Saturday after months of delay caused by the coronavirus outbreak. All along the route, people in trackside houses came to wave at the train, welcoming it back as it meandered through the undulating countryside. Photographers positioned themselves at vantage points along the line and onboard the train people smiled and chatted as they enjoyed the journey.

Jackie said: "Its nice, early days, it's usually really busy at this time of year. But we're hoping the train will be able to get into Whitby at the back end of this month." Photo: Louise Perrin
