Free crème eggs will be handed out to all children travelling with an adult. Customers who show the Easter Bunny YCCRP’s Traxplorer app on their phone will receive a special code to unlock an exclusive Easter item for their in-app character.
Several special events will also be taking place along the route throughout the day. Bridlington and Filey will be hosting food festivals, and Scarborough’s Old Parcels Office is currently home to a sculpture exhibition, located on the station.
Rachel Osborne, YCCRP rail officer, said: “We love doing our Easter specials – they are always such fun and are a great way of encouraging families to use the trains.”
