Further General information on this moorland area and the adjacent countryside and coastline, including the major towns of Whitby (home of Captain Cook), Stokesley,Malton, Scarborough, Thirsk (home of James Herriot), Pickering, Northallerton, Helmsley and the innumerable villages in the many dales can be obtained from the following websites.
Public transport is run by many varied companies, some of which are abysmal and show little sign of improving. Train operators include Northern Rail, they operate the Middlesbrough to Whitby service, the North York Moors Railway operates (steam) the Pickering to Grosmont service, and intends to run some steam into Whitby. East Coast Main Line services to York, Thirsk and Northallerton are now operated by National Express East Coast, Transpennine, Virgin & Grand Central.
Bus and coach services are spasmodic and the National Park operates a 'Moorsbus' service, with routes covering almost the whole of the National Park--unfortunately this only operates in summer and then only on Sundays, apart from a period in the height of summer.
North Yorkshire County Council have developed a new website called Public Transport Information, this has only recently become available, it appears to work.
