    The £24.95 fare is Pickering - Goathland. For reasons only known to those in marketing. the website does not even offer Pickering - Grosmont, not even on the 10.55 which only goes to Grosmont and no further. Nothing is offered from Grosmont other than to Whitby. There's no mention of single tickets anywhere, as far as I can see . Personally, I find this to be a laughable state of affairs. The small print does however say "If your preferred journey is not listed, you can still buy tickets on the day from any station Booking Office or on board with one of our friendly Travelling Ticket Inspectors." That does mean that you can't book in advance and have to pay on the day prices.

    It does seem odd when coming from W Yorks, in my case Leeds, the 1055 out and 1440 back seems like one of the more obvious day trips

    A little light relief to give us a break from the heavy depressing stuff…
    The Head of People has sent out an update from the Volunteer Forum that has been passed to me where he has asked if the railway “needs an almoner to keep in touch with volunteers who are ill or too old or have passed”
    This could be the first heritage railway with a head of dead people
