English Tourism Week, which runs until March 26, is an annual celebration of the tourism industry, highlighting its economic importance to local economies and promoting the innovation, quality and range of products and services on offer to encourage more people to take domestic breaks.

Mr 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.”

The steam railway reopens its doors on March 27 – and children aged 15 or below travel free at all times.
