DalesRail may not have operated in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walk, fascinating anecdotes and pictures to create a ‘Virtual DalesRail’. Hopefully these will give people an idea of what the iconic DalesRail service has to offer and to encourage them to join us when the service resumes in 2021.
Katie, a member of the CRL team, has made a short Doodly animation to give details of ‘Tales from DalesRail’ and this can be viewed below:
