The Lost Scarborough & Whitby Railway - Part 2/3

[@StellarFella]

Juxtaposing those old photographs with the current appearances of the same locations is a great historical service and gives us all a truly rich perspective on things. Priceless.

[@saltspringrailway3683]

Such a pretty railway, such a shame it's been lost.

[@pauljohnson4525]

Fantstic, we have walked along this beautiful path so many times over the years parking the car at Cloughton old station then walking to Whitby and getting the bus back, sadly because of covid & personal illness we haven't been for a few years now so watching your wonderful films bring it all fiooding back to me so thank you so very very much for sharing

[@chrisbolton5461]

Really well produced. So atmospheric too. Great use of archive photos.

Thanks John!

[@georgedane-f6l]

just brilliant . enjoy that pint .short documentaries like this put mainstream tv to shame

[@David-tt2mt]

Had this line survived I would imagine that it would have been as popular as the NYMR, stunning coastal and countryside scenery. Great video presentation and informative.

[@johnperkins7832]

Excellent video. Enjoyed so much been holidaying around whitby and robin hood's bay last couple of years .Love the whole area great, to see the walk along the old railway. Look forward to the last part..

[@rachelwalker7091]

I’m fortunate to have travelled on this line as a child while on holiday. I remember the journey well , so it made a lasting impression. Thanks for the memories.

[@TonyCarnell]

Another fascinating installment 👍 The drone footage really helps to locate you in the wider environment. I can honestly say your presentation and content is equal to anything you'd see on terrestrial TV. Really looking forward to part three and all future content 😀

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Tony. Really appreciate that. Plenty more to come!

[@markweatherall7437]

Great video again, we are really looking forward to your video on Ravenscar :-)

Nice vid. Looking forward to the Ravenscar video.not been there since 1974. Our school used to own Cliff house. Spent many happy times there.

[@originalcolourz]

Loving this series .. your filming , knowledge and delivery make this such a joy to watch …more please

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks David.

[@gkemplay2014]

Excellent presentation style, Calm and informative. Not in your face and over the top like some youtube presentations. Maybe we’ll see you on tv one day. Regarding the comment about Fyling Hall station, I was told it was to serve Fyling Hall School. Not sure if that is correct but I think it’s slightly nearer than Robin Hoods Bay station. All the best Andrew Greg Fylingthorpe

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Greg!

[@red110tdi]

Simply a beautiful walk, and filmed like a professional

[@middlesbroughmike1027]

Yet another great video. I rode from whitby to Ravenscar for the first time last year and came across the brick works and tunnel. The owners of the tea rooms in the (half built) square told us a few tales about the place. Looking forward to your video on that 👍

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Mike.

[@lyndadavison8075]

A real treat for all the senses, love the history, views, information and the comprehensive commentary.

[@robertwiddasart6947]

You bring history memorably to life , who wouldn’t want to ride this glorious line

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Robert.

[@garrymartin6474]

The wooden platform building at Hayburn Wyke used to be let out as a holiday property in the final years of the lines existence , i recall staying there as a youngster in1964 (?) A local farmer used to feed his pigs on seaweed from the beach.

[@hiker70]

Enjoyed part 2. I agree Hayburn Wyke great place.

[@peteressextrucker8014]

I just wanted to say I’m really enjoying your films , very interesting and beautifully filmed 👍 please keep up the good work 😎

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Peter!

[@TX200AA]

In the 70's I volunteered on the NYMR and travelled from London regularly with some friends. One of them had a Morris Minor, and one day we explored some of the Whitby to Scarborough line. At Ravenscar Paul drove the Minor, with me and another friend up onto the trackbed and drove north right into the Ravenscar tunnel. We could not get right through and reversed out!

[@garykuipers2696]

Beautiful scenery and lovely back round music, thank you for another pleasant video.

[@paulinehein6956]

My Dad took me to most of those places back in the 1950s when I was a little girl.Beautiful country I miss the English country side as I now live in the USA. Thank you for sharing.

[@Steve-ln3kl]

I grew up close to the line in this area, Burniston & then Staintondale. We'd often walk or cycle up the cinder track if the weather was good. Fantastic to see the old haunts, the se & the landscape again after so long.

[@stevejones9740]

Another superb video Andrew; thanks for taking the time to create and share it. The subject mater is naturally beautiful on such a bright sunny day, but it takes real skill to capture it. Your drone shots are exemplary. Well done.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Steve! As always, really appreciate the comments and glad you're enjoying the videos.

Fantastic video I did the coastal walk from Scarbrough to Whitby part way along the old railway many years ago. Thanks for the vid. Brill drone footage

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Robert.

[@carloblues]

Thank you for your time and effort in making this beautiful and enjoyable video.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Sam.

[@Teesbrough]

Ravenscar’s a great place to walk around. Back in 1975/6 we had a quick trip out to Hayburn Wyke when on family holiday in Scarborough. I still remember the great ‘Chicken in a Basket’ which the pub served as a bar meal. Hope it’s still on the menu!

[@deewaters8994]

One word: superb.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thank you Dee.

[@Northfacebloke]

A great detailed and interesting part 2. I thoroughly enjoyed part 1 and now part 2. Thank you for the interesting facts and footage. Whitby and Robin Hood`s Bay are paradise to me which makes your videos even more special. Thanks and take care.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thank you!

[@ptrkingw]

Brilliant, takes me back to some wonderful holidays we had there. Although less accessible the line north of Whitby and Sandsend is also fascinating.

[@imranzazai7404]

So beautiful place.

[@andrewbillmarleyschannel06.75]

I look forward to seeing video 3 of this series and thank you very much for bringing back so much memories of north Yorkshire coast

[@andrewbillmarleyschannel06.75]

Oh, by the way, i think it would be better to have these old lines reopened, even if only for heritage status only with classic steam trains and some modern trains alike so everyone can enjoy them once again

[@lizzieburton5276]

Another fabulous video, so picturesque. Thank you

[@dianem6697]

Love this channel takes me back to a simpler life ………. great family holidays …….. such beautiful scenery thank you for the walk ☺️

Great video I grew up there roaming round scalby beck n cinda tracks fishing avoiding bailiffs with my school pals good days

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks! Scalby beck and the viaduct are covered in the next one.

wonderfull video, very well presented love the old photos, its part of our history, cant wait for part three.

[@diwarburton5369]

Another great vlog with stunning views which you have managed to capture well. Really looking forward to your Ravenscar vlog. For what it is worth I hope they never re-open disused railway lines as they are great for walking.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

I agree, to be honest. I should have added a comment about the narrow gauge railway running in addition to the Cinder Track rather than instead of it.

[@jamesbrook16]

Looking forward to your Ravenscar episode.

[@paulwalker9262]

Robin Hoods Bay what a special place . I remember it well .

Never travelled the line by train, but have walked the whole line many times. This is brilliant, especially the drone shots and the historical photos. Already looking forward to part 3. Many thanks!!

Thanks Andrew. Another Gem.

Have younanh of the videos put out by the NYMR on YT? They include driver training videos showing the line ahead on both the NYMR and the Esk Valley line.

Thanks Chris! Always appreciated.

[@knaptonmawson]

After living in Scarborough for 20 years , and a short time in Ravenhall, plus raising 2 children in that time, its nice to see these videos. I now live near Munich, there is no Sea at all. I am looking forward to the Ravenscar video. In 1985 there was a mini Disco night in Heyburn Wyke, and we would visit it from Raven Hall, we where younger then and looking for entertainment, or a chance to get out without going to Scarborough because of transport problems, we couldn't afford the Taxi fare.

[@diannehardwick950]

Thanks for the lovely memories of this line. Very well presented with good filming technique and interesting historical content. I enjoy the way you tell your viewers what you are going to do in the future, e.g. filming Ravenscar.

[@jaycollins6792]

Great video mate I would definitely like to see you take on the tunnels

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Jay. I'm sure I will at some point!

[@janegriffith2369]

we are coming on holiday soon and will definitely be doing some of the walks on here with our dogs we have cycled from Robin hoods Bay to Scalby and back great ride some 25 years ago also no one ever mentions the film with Moore Marriot in it filmed at Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby called The Turn of Tides shown on Talking Pictures recently.

[@whitemoor66]

Another superb video. Love Robin Hoods Bay been there several times and parked in the car park without realising it was part of the old railway route! Drone shot was particularly good as I've never seen Robin Hoods Bay from the sea! Very enjoyable watch whilst on holiday in Wilsthorpe just along the coast. Looking forward to part 3!

[@barbaraprest783]

Hard work for you pleasurable for me - thank you 👍👍

[@benvaughan9525]

[@davidcoates9123]

Thanks fella, another great presented video of our wonderful NY coast.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers David.

[@georgeb6414]

I can remember riding on the train from Scarborough to Whitby with my parents. We had a weekly ticket that allowed us to travel from Leeds to all the east coast resorts from whitby down to Bridlington, but my favourite part of the route was Scarborough to Whitby where the views from the train were spectacular. At each station where the trains change over, before they could proceed onto the next part of the single track they had to get a token the the driver travelling in the opposite direction.

[@paultagg5589]

This was brilliant, Thank you

[@richies1308]

Great video, this installment inspired me to travel down from Durham and complete the Hawsker to Ravenscar section and back along.The views are tremendous. Great that you dropped down into Robin Hoods Bay for some video footage, that hills a killer! I shall return and try some of the section south of Ravenscar.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks! I hope you had some decent weather for it.

[@ianmarsden8568]

Thank you for the series of videos - really enjoyed all three of them. They took me back to a 'not so very long ago time'. The drone shots were judiciously use to explain and simply amaze and you were so lucky with the weather. You must have enjoyed the project. One thing that struck me about the Lost town of Ravenscar - why not start it up again. With the general shortage of housing both affordable and other, it would seem a great opportunity. Might even help to re-open the line. Just a thought without much heed to the downside. Thanks again.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks for your comments Ian and I'm glad you enjoyed them. I enjoyed putting it together as I'd had it in the back of my mind for over a year! That's a great idea about Ravenscar! They could easily increase the bus service that runs to there.

[@stevecummins3706]

Cheers for these mate. I grew up in Stainsacre, but, haven't done the walk in years, so it's nice to see it all again and how it's all changed

[@46115al]

Thanks for the vid. Living in the North West I have often wondered, many times, what this particular Line was like and it's steep gradients. Love the pictures of Steam Locos too. Sad that it's gone; I would have loved to have ridden the Line listening to the sound of the Steam Locomotives battling the inclines.

[@CheshireCars]

Very well narrated and great scenes from above as well as on the level.

[@markg99]

Cracking video. Looks like a good route for a run, especially in that nice weather. The Ravenscar video is getting a big build up 😁👍🏻

[@christophertupper8811]

Great video mate.Keep it going👍

[@donnamatthews1964]

So good to watch this. I love old railway line walks and the area is so lovely

[@DS-cf1zc]

I love this section of track between Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar. I have long consider the Flying Hall Station to have been one of the reasons the line ran into difficulty - as for pure efficiency and delivery it is a random stop that was clearly not needed. Make sure you pull the Seal colony in Ravenscar when you do a unique video on this bit - they are amazing to watch, spend time with and just well - heck, enjoy a few hours away from life. My last visit to Ravenscar - 2019 - showed some subsidence to the original track beds, which had been adjusted to allow us to pass - but it was clear land slips in the area is still a big issue. If I think you missed something a the town that never was, the station house still houses a cafe, with the most wonderful cakes, and meals. Pop in and see them - the Rocky Road is a delight to be experienced.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Dave. Yes, I know Ravenscar very well. The tearooms on the corner of the square is a fab place and had I had time I would've stopped there for lunch. Next time!

[@carolynngilbert6010]

Great video. I was born in Robin Hood's Bay and old enough to remember both steam and diesel trains from Whitby to Scarborough. Used to use the train to Scarborough a fair bit as we didn't have a car in those days. We had relatives at both Ravenscar and Burniston (Staintondale station). I think Fylinghall would have been added to the line for use by the farmers in the surrounding area and Fylinghall School. Somewhere I still have a ticket for the last train from RHB to Whitby. Depite hating Dr Beeching, from memory only Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby & Scarborough made a profit on that line by the 60s.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Carolynn. If it was open today it would probably still only be those stations that made a profit.

[@markcank6409]

Most enjoyable video, keep up the good work

[@geertmarien9076]

Excellent!

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Trains were just as likely to struggle from Whitby up to Ravenscar even on summer days if there was a haar. The light weight DMUs had it worse that the steam hauled trains that they replaced.

[@mikecondon9576]

Well done again. You have allowed me to learn a lot more about this wonderful area. I would also like to commend your presenting style.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Mike!

[@vincentcarroll7315]

Very interesting, well done 👍

[@terrybirch239]

Really enjoyed that. We were on the line from Pickering to Whitby on the Coronation BH. Went under the viaduct which I knew nothing about. Great video explained how it came about. Loved the music as well. We had our chips at the Magpie!! Thanks a lot.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Terry!

[@stephenharper9961]

Also love the video on this amazing railway!! Great job!!

[@mikeedwards6162]

The route is far better as a walk than a rail line in my humble opinion as I have walked it.
