RYEDALE’S MP visited a well-known heritage railway – as part of country wide celebrations highlighting the benefits of tourism.
Kevin Hollinrake, MP for Thirsk and Malton, visited the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as part of English Tourism Week.
The week, which runs from March 17 to 26, is an annual celebration of the tourism industry.
It aims to highlight tourism’s economic importance to local economies and promote innovation, quality, and range of products and services on offer to encourage more people to take domestic breaks.
Following his visit, Kevin Hollinrake said: “The iconic North York Moors Railway is kept alive by the incredible work of those who volunteer and work to maintain and promote it.
“We must ensure our historic railways endure, especially given the challenging past two years and I have no doubt there will be flocks of visitors supporting it over the summer months.”
