‘Dementia train’ journeys return after five years
Five years ago, the last “Forget-Me-Not” train ran along the Esk Valley Line between Whitby and Middlesbrough. Its passengers included people living with dementia and their family members and carers.
The 17-mile journey gave them the chance to enjoy the scenery of the North York Moors and meet other people.
The Covid pandemic halted the special carriages provided by operator Northern on the route, but this week the train returned for the first time since 2020.
