Scarborough Question

[Gizmogle]

Might go out this weekend if nothing else comes up...
Was thinking of going to Scarborough. Any chance of catching a shiny new 170?
What have they got booked for the 0912 departure from Man Picc?
Thanks

185.

0842 or 0942 to Hull maybe Class 170's offering you a change at Leeds.

 

[Gizmogle]

Hmm, okay, what about the 1537 from Hull then?
Or what's the first 170 from Leeds to Man Picc after 1640?

 

[1D53]

These are what they worked last week, chances are this is the same (bear in mind these are Mon-Fri diagrams, Sat may be different)

301
ECS Crofton to Hull (with 302)
0732 Hull - Manchester (with 302)
0942 Manchester - Hull (with 302)
1237 Hull - Manchester
1442 Manchester - Hull
1700 Hull - Huddersfield
ECS to Crofton

302
ECS Crofton to Hull (with 301)
0732 Hull - Manchester (with 301)
0942 Manchester - Hull (with 301)
1437 Hull - Manchester (with 158.)
1642 Manchester - Hull (with 158.)
2150 Hull - Manchester
ECS to Crofton

Bear in mind that the Hull run has 4 units and there are 2 170's in use at the moment, so if they are both out there is in theory a 50% chance!

Last Saturday they ran:

5K05 (0444 Crofton-Hull)
1K05 (0733 Hull-Man Picc)
1K08 (0942 Man Picc-Hull)
1K15 (1237 Hull-Man Picc)
1K18 (1442 Man Picc-Hull)
1K25 (1700 Hull-Huddersfield)
5M25 (1837 Huddersfield-Man Picc)

1K11 (1037 Hull-Man Picc)
1K14 (1242 Man Picc-Hull)
1K21 (1539 Hull-Man Picc)
1K24 (1742 Man Picc-Hull)
1K35 (2150 Hull-Man Picc)

If these remain the same then 1K21 is due off Leeds at 1640 bang on.

Ah thankyou
Might wait a few weeks then...
There anything [free] going on this weekend?

Tell you what would be a worthwhile day Gizmogle - do the York-Scarborough, Scarborough-Hull, Hull-Selby/York circular route. Theres a cheap rover available to do this too called the East Yorkshire round robin (11.55 YP), which is valid on a York-York circular (via Scarborough and Hull). Jordy did this a couple of weeks back I believe, its a very cheap way of getting all that mileage!

[Gizmogle]

Yeah, I was gonna go to Scarborough and spend some time there and then down to Hull with an hour or so to have a look around and then back from there. I'm on priv so it's all free for me! But I dunno, I might wait until there are more 170s about. Thanks though

Have a look at the cliff lifts while you're there if you go:

Ahh, the memories. On the picture in the link below is where we used to stay when I was younger. It is called the Mirimar holiday flats. It's the one you can see directly behind with the blue sign. Used to ride up and down the cliff lift many times and took a real interest in it.

Drop me a line when you're going, I could maybe join you for a ride to Scarborough (haven't done it for a while). I live in Cottingham by the way if you didn't know

Ah those cliff lifts also bring back memories for me, Scarborough was one of our favourite spots when I was little. We often decided not to ride the cliff lifts mind, as they weren't too cheap when there were 5 of us

Just as a matter of interest, how much are they know? Cannot remember how much they were years ago, my dad used to pay.

I'm not really sure I rarely go thesedays

Are they all still operating? I remember at one point some of them had closed.

Are they new inside?

Otherwise the 185s look far more apetising

I'd rather have a 170 any day.

 

[devon_metro]

Fair enough
