Whitby to Sandsend by Train

[@mikemcnichol4343]

I often rode that line when I was a child.and still have vivid memories of it. My grandfather was a train driver and occasionaly we had the added bonus of seeing inside the cab befor the journey. pleasant memories indeed. Thank you for creating such a nice relaxing vidio.

Fantastic. What a travesty this route no longer exists along this beautiful coastline.

Fantastic production Michael ! Wish we do it for real once gain, plus many other routes in the north.

Fantastic! We saw part of the old railway bridge on a walk yestetday and wondered about this line. Such a clever production and wonderful to watch. So nostalgic. Thank you

Super thanks Mike. I remember the railway when we holidayed in Whitby during the 1950s but never saw a train! We go to Whitby every year and manage to include a walk on parts of the old line. If only it were still open.

My grandad started on the railways as a fireman in Middlesbrough Newport in 1909. In about 1928 he transferred as a locomotive driver to Saltburn shed, where he stayed until retirement in 1961. He worked for the NER, then LNER and finally British Railways. He must have known this line very well, driving from Saltburn to Scarborough or Darlington. I remember him setting off to walk down the line to work in the mornings with his "bait" tin and bottle of cold tea supplied by gran. Like you, I never travelled on this line, but I do remember the iron bridges at Sandsend.

Wow! Absolutely loved this Simulation! As would my late Brother, he was a Steam Railway Enthusiast particularly the Line between Guisborough to Whitby. He often tried to explain the Route between Whitby & Sandsend , having had many a Holiday in Whitby I will probably have travelled this actual Route but being so Young at the time have no recollection! Many Thanks

Very clever. Holidays spent in Sandsend as a young child late 1940's / early 50's

Just returned from a week based in Whitby, armed with a 1919 Ward Lock guide. I managed to recreate many of the photos in the guide, but couldn't manage the view up the beck into Sandsend, obviously taken from somewhere along the railway line.

It is a shame you left the camping coaches off. They were in the siding of the goods yard just before the first of the two bridges in Sandsend
