EddieK Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 4 hours ago, Market65 said: Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Adrian, for posting those photo’s of Flying Scotsman from what is probably Escrick on the then ECML. Hopefully someone can confirm the exact location of the photo’s, but it sounds like it is just north of where the former station was. Now, this evening we go to Scarborough, courtesy of another photo’ by Graeme Phillips on Flickr, and can see, on platform seven line, a class 104 DMU. It has probably worked in from Hull for those services used number five quite a lot back then. The train to the left is a class 110, with the lower height of the windows either side of the connecting gangway of the TSL being a good clue, and to the right are some Mkl carriages on number eight platform line. A busy scene on a day in about 1970 - unfortunately no date is given. Best regards, Rob. One or both of the DMUs in the image must have passed through the current mess room area of the East Yorkshire bus depot that is currently sited on the "throat" of the former lines to platforms 6-9 and the adjacent sidings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember exploring the platforms whist changing trains after a day spotting at York in the late 60's early 70's, there was quite often a couple of open wagons in one of the platforms, labelled to work between Scarborough Station and Barlow Tip, i had no idea where it was back in those days and now 50 or so years later i live about 5 miles from Barlow Tip. Which is now a nature reserve created by covering the tip in thousands of tons of soil after asbestos had been found, thought to have originated from York Carriage Works. One wonders what is buried there, a good friend of mine who knew an ex Selby driver told him when Selby Shed closed in 1959 everything went in open wagons to the tip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 19, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Firstly, EddieK, I know you are right about those trains having passed through what is now the messroom area for the East Yorkshire bus depot. Now, this evening, we stay in Scarborough, and go back in time to the 6th March, 1965. Courtesy of another photo’ by Graeme Phillips on Flickr, we see a hybrid two car DMU, on that last day of services to Whitby. It is formed of a class 108/2 DMBS, and a class 101/1 DMCL. From Whitby the unit would then reverse and go on to the destination of Middlesbrough. Best regards, Rob. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
