MURDER mystery fans have a unique opportunity to put their detective skills to the test on the North York Moors Railway this weekend.

An unexpected cancellation has resulted in 25 seats being made available for this Saturday's 'Murder Mystery' Pullman dining train on the North York Moors.

Tickets cost £60 per head, and include a themed four course meal and drinks reception. Guests are invited to a reception at 6.45pm at Grosmont Station, prior to departure at 7.30pm. The train then travels through the North York Moors National Park towards Pickering, during which two courses of the meal are served. On the return journey guests can enjoy the final two courses.

Arriving back at Grosmont at 10.45pm, guests are invited into the patio garden area on Platform 4 at Grosmont, for an explanation of the events surrounding the murder of one of the themed characters.

The massively popular 'Murder Mystery' trains are planned for each Saturday evening in June 2009.
