Just a thought...as I zipped past the York depot today I pondered if York residents have been as upset by the 68's nocturnal rumblings as my Scarborough comrades or are they fast asleep/not there at night (the locos not the residents)

Cheers...a total fluke:D Was lucky in that my connection from London arrived just before the TV star left. You can't beat a bit of black & white can you you...?!;)

Thanks both:smile: Its actually a screenshot from a videoclip-I didn't upload cos I recall a while back putting videos can make it tricky for some readers. And in any case I can barely upload a photo let alone a video clip:oops: It wasn't too rainy ta, altho I got a little bit sodden on my...

I just caught the TV star and her supporting cast leave the stage at about 20:50 this evening. I was hoping they might reverse back in for an encore but alas not. Leave em wanting more Courageous...:lol: Supporting act was a 185 that scuttled away just minutes before

Great photo that...

Thanks... my youngest lad guessed correctly then It did/does look very bizarre. Drove past the other side tonight

....here they are. At first I thought they were wrapped up following another graffiti incident...

Morning All, Whilst dropping my folks off at Scarborough station this morning was a little surprised to see Courageous and co on platform 1. Alas for my parents it was not their train but apparently being filmed for something-the DVT end at the old Parcel Depot was tightly wrapped in what looked...

I took a bike ride past the depot yesterday and took these photos...a few from the gaps in the fence Seamer Rd side and a few from the other side (football stadium). Can't see a huge amount on the photos particularly the stadium side where the white fencing is up but hopefully they give those...

A couple more photos from during the Scarborough 'turnaround' yesterday morning. No class 03 or 08 required these days unlike the last time we had loco hauled trains over here:)
