North Yorkshire Moors Railway to rely more on volunteers as financial challenges revealed

775 views . 12 hours ago

North Yorkshire Moors Railway is planning to rely more on volunteers and less on paid staff as it faces ongoing financial challenges amidst falling visitor numbers.

The steam railway visitor attraction which runs along an 18-mile line through the Moors is also seeking to “change the demographic” of its existing volunteer base to make its helpers “more varied in age and more diverse”.

Details have been revealed in recently-published accounts from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Trust covering the year to February which said the organisation has been through a “perfect storm of post Covid impacts, cost increases, the cost of living crisis and one-off events on and off the railway conspiring to test staff and volunteers”.
