==Special events==
The NYMR runs several special events through the year, usually revolving around a particular theme.

* Steam galas are weekend events, sometimes extended to Friday and/or Monday. On these days, a full timetabled service is run alongside extra trains, such as local shuttle services and demonstration [[freight train]]s. The LNER gala in April 2008 featured all three of the UK's operational [[Gresley A4 Pacific]]s, and attracted thousands of visitors.<ref>{{cite news |title=Chuffed to Bits |url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=AWNB&t=&sort=YMD_date%3AD&fld-base-0=alltext&maxresults=20&val-base-0=LNER%20gala%20North%20York%20Moors&docref=news/11FC26FF419A3B88 |access-date=20 June 2019 |work=infoweb.newsbank.com |publisher=The York Press |date=31 March 2008|url-access=subscription}}</ref>

* [[Santa Special]] trains are run in the Christmas period, complete with elves, [[Santa's Grotto|Santa's grotto]], presents and mince pies. The winter scenery of the [[North York Moors National Park]] adds to the charm of these events.{{sfn|Suggitt|2007|p=92}}
