An express train that has been whisking families around Harrogate's Valley Gardens is set to stay for an extra week.
The Harrogate Express Land Train arrived last week and was a hit with visitors during half term.
It was due to end on Sunday (2nd June), but North Yorkshire Council have confirmed it will stay in place this week and will be available to ride on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The fairground rides will also remain.

The train's route starts at the children’s play area within the park and also picks up passengers at the main entrance to Valley Gardens near the Pump Room Museum.
The 50-seater train costs £3.50 per person (card only) and takes passengers on a 20-minute loop of the gardens.
It has been commissioned by North Yorkshire Council and will be run by Crow Leisure Group.
Tim Dabell, North Yorkshire Council’s Event Management Officer, said:
“It’s lovely for the younger kids to come to the park with their parents and have additional attractions to enjoy during the Half Term Holidays.
“It’s the first time we have had a Land Train in the Valley Gardens and if it is a success we will look at more occasions in the future!”
Tickets for the kids rides and activities can be purchased at the ticket booth next to the rides.
