A regular summer service started in 1977, with J72 0-6-0T locomotive number 69023 Joem (now preserved at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway) operating the services.
The closure of the lines to Whitby was marked by the Whitby Moors Rail Tour run by the Stephenson Locomotive Society and the Manchester Lococmotive Society and was hauled by preserved LNER K4 2-6-0 no.3442 The Great Marquess and York shed's K1 2-6-0 no.62005 (which resides at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in the care of the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG).
There was a petition on 10 Downing Street to reopen the line and upgrade the North Yorkshire Moors railway to cope with higher speeds (40-50 mph as opposed to 25 mph), to improve transport in the region, and to provide relief for the A64 more cheaply than dualling it in its entirety.
