THE ARCHIVE FILES > Archive-2019 > 29. A Yorkshire Ramble-15 & 16.04.19
A couple of days with an overnight stay in York with Andy. On the way up, we sampled a few workings on the ECML before the arrival of the Azumas. We then headed to east Yorkshire going up the wolds to Scarborough. On the second day, we traversed the Esk valley popping out at Battersby Junction to then do the Redcar area before returning home, again with a brief stop on the ECML. Andy copped a number of station and I managed some new signal boxes.

1. Journey there via ECML & Hull to Scarborough & York-15.04.19 We stopped off at a number of spots on the ECML to get some class 91 and HST shots on a glorious spring morning. By the time we reached the East Yorkshire coast, it was cold and cloudy being just eight degrees! Our overnight stay was in York at a Travelodge on the Hull Road. After a superb curry, we had an hour at York station.

2. The Exe Valley & south Teeside-16.04.19 After a superb drive across the North Yorkshire Moors on the A169 Andy and I caught a bit of steam action at Grosmont. We then travelled the length of the delightful Esk Valley. Foloowing this, we did the Saltburn, Redcar and Middlesborough line followed by an evening stop at Northallerton and Thirsk on the journey home. I was defeated by one signal box and Andy by one station, both within a mile or so of each other so we may have to re-visit some time!
