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
Thanks for the updates in my response to my query about how many 68s have been at Scarborough. A long time surely since we had 4 locos at the coast:smile:
I'm just on my way back from London so will see what's what with the Prima Donna 68 on platform 1 when I get back;)
No not really...just a few folk milling about between the train and the car park end nearest the parcel depot. The whole of the DVT appears to be totally blacked out except for the driving end. I'll try and get some more/better pics tomorrow. This morning the 68's engine was ticking over...
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:)
Superb has made it over the coast to Scarborough this morning with the mk5as. Rolled in pretty much on time just before 8am. Very smart looking I have to say sitting beneath the roof at platform 3
Does anyone know if the depot at Scarborough is open yet? I did wonder if this might be a move to transfer a Nova 3 set there for depot training.
...the depot isn't open by the looks of things. It's coming along but appears there's still a fair bit to get done before it will be completed...
I'm a new poster to this thread but have followed it with great interest...thank you all. I took a late lunch break to head down to Scarborough and witnessed a solo 68 trundle in about 2pm...no coaches tho. Still a pleasant sight after the years of multiple units but nonetheless a slight sense...
Not sure if you mean member of the team doing the work(?) If so not the case...I took the photos from the Londesborough Rd car park sticking the camera through the gaps in the railings☺
...having done a little exploring yesterday I realise now that my previous post was a little foolish!! Took these photos from Londesborough Rd station site and then opposite the old Falsegrave tunnel entrance. Quite a lot of digging up...not least the old platform 1 of Londesborough Rd-you can...
