===Yorkshire's 'magnificent journey' appeal===
During 2017, the NYMR announced it was applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund, as part of a new appeal to keep the whole preserved railway running for the next 50 years. The bid attracted £4.4&nbsp;million in HLF funding and the appeal also donations from other funding streams such as the Rural Payments Agency, which donated £1.97&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news |last1=White |first1=Andrew |title=Heritage railway's future safeguarded by £4.4m National Lottery grant |url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/17617708.yorkshires-magnificent-journey-project-is-dedicated-to-preserving-the-railway-for-future-generations/ |access-date=20 June 2019 |work=The Northern Echo |date=4 May 2019}}</ref>

The aim of this appeal includes a series of individual projects such as,

# The renewal and repair of a total of three bridges around Goathland.
# Provide fuss free access for accommodation aboard every passenger train.
# The construction of a carriage shed (accommodating up to 40 carriages) at Pickering.
# A dedicated education carriage at Goathland.
# The creation of a new volunteer hostel at Grosmont.
# A volunteering development programme, recruiting new generations of volunteers in the foreseeable future.
# Railway apprenticeship schemes, with offers of training in engineering.
# A lineside conservation initiative, raising the awareness of conservation issues.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Boyd-Hope |first1=Gary |title=Major lottery award for North Yorkshire Moors |magazine=The Railway Magazine |date=June 2019 |volume=165 |issue=((1,419)) |page=70 |publisher=Mortons Media |location=Horncastle |issn=0033-8923}}</ref>
