No official statement has been released about the production, which is the second major Hollywood filming contract that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has secured this year. In April Tom Cruise shot action scenes for the latest Mission:Impossible film on a section of the North York Moors Railway.

In the meantime, this newspaper salutes the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for launching a £600,000 appeal to renovate the Dame Vera Lynn locomotive so it can transport passengers on the evocative heritage line.
North Yorkshire Moors Railway wants to restore the Dame Vera Lynn locomotive.
It hopes the money can be raised, and the overhaul completed, in time for the 80th anniversary of VE Day in 2025 when, to paraphrase one of Dame Vera’s most famous songs, families did meet again as the guns of the Second World War finally fell silent.
Now it is a case of ‘we’ll steam again’ to keep this project on track – more than £175,000 has already raised – and ensure this region has its own unique tribute to a national icon like no other.
