A Class 101 DMU waits, hopefully, for passengers at Whitby station's platform two, the only one in use at this time. The DMU has crudely had its headcode panel plated over, a situation that would be rectified properly when this class were refurbished in the mid-1980s. Notice that the low platform requires the use of some wooden steps for some passengers. Today, this platform is now extended thus avoiding problems with its sharp curvature and is used for excursions and the regular workings from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Notice the spire of St. Hilda's Catholic church dominating the skyline.
