  • It's 26th July, and as we roam around wonderful Yorkshire, we discover a new children's TV programme, chat to the Virgin trains designer, forget to look at something important in Scarborough, get a little bit rained on, and oh - knock out seven very awkward stations!
    All The Stations merchandise is available at our online shop, here: allthestations.co.uk/shop/
    Geoff and Vicki are visiting ALL 2,563 national railway stations in Britain - view the progress map and loads more information about the project on the website at: allthestations.co.uk/
    ROUTE: Knaresborough - York - Scarborough - Bridlington - Hull - Goole - Leeds
    Four of the seven awkward stations are Rawcliffe, Snaith, Hensall and Whitley Bridge) which only gets 3 trains a day, one w/b in the morning, and then one e/b in the evening and the return (which we caught) w/b in the evening.

    Poppleton was the site of a 'railway nursery', which provided all the flowers for railway station gardens and restaurant car table ornaments. Part of the nursery still exists, with a short narrow gauge railway (made 'infamous' by the Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling Forum's photo quiz where anyone who doesn't know the answer just says "Poppleton Nurseries"!)

    11:45 Bridlington beach (either one; personally I'm more familiar with the south beach) is worth a visit, as is the harbour. I have many happy memories there. If you didn't go whilst you were there, I recommend it if you ever make a return visit to the East Yorkshire coast.

    There's actually two cliff railways in Scarborough, the other one being at the Pavilion at South Bay. But there were once four! There was one the other side of the Grand that was mostly in position but unoperational in 2012 (the last time I went to Scarborough), whilst the other was at North Bay.

    • @svitapeneela
      @svitapeneela 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Down the hill from the Castle is a Church. Across a walk path is the new graveyard . . . where there is a famous Writer buried. Agreed, they recently replaced the headstone. And the edges are already wearing away! (Hint: she died in 1849).

    Interesting point of trivia - for a while, Malton was the only station that was in a different county to the town it served.

      stevieinselby Yes, Malton is actually in Norton, and to correct Vicky - Seamer is acutually in Crossgates.

      I believe the former was at one time (like many of the local organisations) called Malton and Norton. As for the latter, they called it Seamer because there was already a Cross Gates at the Leeds end of the line.

    Bridlington station really grinds my gears. The platforms are 4, 5 & 6, and there is no platform 3, 2 or 1. Bridlington, please renumber your platforms.

      Its a thing that's always been going on - I think the locals are used to the confusion but I get 4 and 6 confused.

      Probably know this all ready, but there used to be platform 1,2, 3, 7 and 8. Some of the platforms are longer than usual to accommodate the long special holiday trains that used to come to Bridlington, 7 and 8 were especially long. The concourse is so wide so it could accomodate the huge number of people getting off the holiday trains.

    What Vicky failed to mention about the Grand in Scarborough is that it was the largest hotel in Europe.

    My local Scarborough station. For those who don't know, Scarborough also used to have a branch line which used to run to Whitby via Scalby and Robin Hoods Bay ☺

      The Whitby to Scarborough railway (closed by Guess Who) has now been converted to a cycle track called the Cinder Track. We cycled from Ravenscar to Whitby and back, and it was a tough climb for the last mile back to the car. At least, it was for me; my wife has a Cheat Bike (an electric bike) so she found it easy.
      I can remember when I was little playing in the stream at Sandsend (just north of Whitby) and jumping off one of the foundation supports of the old viaduct into the water.
      The highlight of the Cinder Track is the magnificent view of Whitby Abbey from Larpool Viaduct, especially if there's a steam train from Pickering going under the viaduct on the Grosmont-Whitby line.

    Geoff went to the Castle without Vickie? sure that is a crime against Vickmanity, really enjoyed it, sadly my first experience of Scarborough was dull as well, but unlike All the Stations, I travelled there and back by a steam locomotive, West Coast Railway Company do a 'Scarborough Spa Express' was suppose to be in the summer but due to the warm summers ended up doing it half term October and cost around £30 from York to Scarborough by steam
