First new Forget Me Not train to run along Whitby to Middlesbrough Esk Valley Railway line
The first new Forget Me Not special train for people living with dementia arrives on the Esk Valley Whitby to Middlesbrough rail line on Wednesday March 19.

Just turn up and go. There’s no need to book and standard low fares and railcard discounts apply.
Passengers can join at any Esk Valley Railway station.
In addition to funding from the Community Rail Partnership, the trains are enabled by support from Northern Rail, North Yorkshire Council, North Yorkshire Moors Railway, St Cecilia’s Care Group - and Mucky Duck Chimney Sweep.
