Diesel Gala: 10 to 13 June 2027
Checked 7 November 2026: the official page announces Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 June 2027, with visiting and home-fleet diesels. It asks readers to follow updates for visiting locomotives, timetables and ticket announcements.
Steam Gala: 23 to 26 September 2027
The official page announces Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 September 2027. It lists home and visiting steam locomotives and a Goathland beer festival, but does not yet name the visiting engines or publish the detailed timetable.
NYMR’s report dated 28 September 2026 records more than 5,500 passengers attending the 2026 Steam Gala. That historical attendance is not a prediction or annual visitor total.
Tickets, parking and access
Use the official gala pages for booking when tickets are released. A standard Day Rover, membership or carer arrangement should not be assumed valid without the gala’s own terms.
Plan station parking with the official parking page and confirm accessible carriage arrangements for the chosen train. CPS charges and Blue Badge rules apply at its station car parks. Coaches cannot access Levisham or Newtondale Halt.
Locomotives and timetable changes
Do not carry the 2026 guest list into 2027. The older report verifies Repton No. 926 and the 2026 visiting locomotives only. Rosters remain subject to operational change, even after a timetable is announced.
