    I read somewhere that the horses know the routine so well that if you reduce the number of trips by one, they try to carry on, past the depot!

    My sister and family haven’t returned to the NYMR on their annual Whitby holiday for the second year in a row, reason being they got fed up with the prospect of ‘a dirty blue diesel’ being more likely to be at the head of their train than a...
