• The Most Beautiful Clo... -~-
The Lost Scarborough to Whitby Railway - Scarborough to Cloughton Station
The Scarborough to Whitby Railway opened in 1885 and lasted for 80 years until its sad demise and closure in 1965.
In this series, i shall be following the full course of the route, from Scarborough right up to Whitby and visiting all of the intermediate stations and points of interest along the route.
Now the Cinder Trail or Track, this route is fully accessable and has some of the most stunning scenary along any disused railway within the UK.
In this video walk i set off by passing the former Gallows Close Carriage Sidings, Scalby Viaduct and the former station site before finishing off just beyond the remains of Cloughton Station.

Oh Ant what a masterpiece. What nostalgia. I'm in my late sixties, my parents (God rest their souls) lived at Burniston and my brother lived at Cloughton. I remember as a child being able to look over the parapet into the goods yard at Gallows Close and the entrance/exit of Falsgrave tunnel which I believe now sits under the steep ramp into Sainsburys carpark. Cloughton station and goods shed after closure eventually became excellent tea rooms and have since become private residences. I look forward to viewing the next in the series.

[@Paggerd]

Agree John, the photographs and evocative music, pure nostalgia, magic.

[@benGBRf]

What a great idea to do this line Ant. I won't get into a rant of how upsetting it is that it has closed, but rather admire and say well done for capturing the beauty of what's left of this line and thank you for sharing it and bringing it to our home screens. 👍🏻

[@ianr]

Superb video again! The old footage reminds me that not only have we lost so many railway lines, but, also a way of life. 👍🙂

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thankyou so much Ian

[@stephenharper9961]

Just like the loftus to whitby branch, this is another one that was sent to us from the gods to enjoy and see this amazing area

[@TheRopeAddict]

Best. Show. Ever. 👍🏻👏🏻💯

[@TrekkingExploration]

Wow, thanks!

[@macstyle2012]

When i lived in Scarborough many years ago i used to cycle this path everyday from Scarborough to Burniston, where I worked. When i was at school in the mid 80s, used to go in the tunnel, and the track went just past where Sainsburys is now and under the road bridge before ending.

[@user-st8fb2xn6z]

Many thanks for this video. Very helpful for me to understand the town and how it all fits together. Scarborough is the best place in the world and this only adds to its beauty. Very inspirational.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you. Parts 2 and 3 are now available too 🙂

[@alankennedy3398]

Life was so different back in the 60s and 70s so much history either torn up or demolished such a shame .. love this video content it takes you back to better times

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

The public wasn't using this line enough, outside of the holidaymakers, to generate enough revenue to cover a fraction of its costs. In other places infrastructure was no longer adequate for modern needs, such as the numerous goods depots in Sheffield, and had to be replaced. Those rose tinted hindsight views you have of the past hide all the problems that people back them were trying to improve in spite of the UK's basket case economy of the period.

[@Peter-MH]

Scalby viaduct looks a bit worse for wear. Without maintenance some of these are going to end up being demolished for safety reasons, which would be a huge loss!

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Another amazing video Ant. You must put in a lot of research to bring us these old clips. I really appreciate the effort you put in to tell the complete story. Beautiful drone footage too. Thanks for sharing.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Outside of the summer months it was hardly used by locals. Then as now there were few people living along the line and the buses were were as fast but more frequent.

[@iancaveney7464]

That looks like a lovely jaunt, Ant, that archive shot of the crossing gate early on reminded me of the Denby Colliery line out of Ripley in Derbyshire. Been a long while since I walked that track, but, about 10-15 years back everything was still in place, rails, signs, points levers and old school crossing gates where trains would come out the Colliery down to a junction on the mainline. If memory serves there's a residential property with a platform in the garden. Lovely stuff, again, dude. 👍

[@johnetherington782]

Wonderful stuff - well done again. Had this at my wedding 50 odd years ago so brought back very happy memories.

[@bobmoorcroft8447]

Fantastic and so nostalgic! We walked that part of the old track from Scalby to Cloughton on many occasions but it was great to see the whole line from Scarborough itself. We used to visit Cloughton station regularly for many years for their unbeatable salmon sandwiches and cakes and we sat on the lawn where the track used to be. The friendly owners sadly decided to retire the tearoom business a few years ago. Greatly looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@michaelmiller641]

Wow. What a wonderful walk. beautiful scenery and what looks to be a wonderful lost Railway. Thanks for That, Ant, I look forward to the next videos!

Fantastic video Ant. Really like the way you’ve interspersed your footage with the old photos & video. Can’t believe how vast the area is where the sidings used to be. Love what they’ve done with Cloughton Station as well. Looking forward to the next part 👍🏼😊

[@Andrew-yi4px]

Wonderfully informative video . Very enjoyable. Just to add I think the carriage sidings were officially known as The Northstead Carriage sidings. To relieve pressure on Scarborough Central Station the numerous excursions from the Industrial West Riding would terminate at Scarborough Londesborough Road Station , passengers alight and the train then proceed ECS through Falsgrave tunnel to the carriage sidings where trains and locos would be serviced in preparation for their return journey. Trains would then depart in the evening to Londesborough Station and load up and be away in minutes . Must have been incredible at the height of the summer excursion season during the inter war years.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Platform 1A was built in 1908 to deal with the Whitby trains which until then had crossed over to a platform on the far side of the station as stated in the film. Falsgrave Tunnel predates this by over 20 years. The original plan for the Scarborough and Whitby Railway was to have their own station roughly where Sainsbury's is to the east bank of the river Esk in Whitby, but they soon realised it would be better to have connections to the NER at both ends of the line. The trains using Platform 1A were limited to 2 coaches when propelling into or out of this platform with a brake coach leading. Longer trains either needed a pilot engine or had to have the engine run round the train at Londesborough Road station. Gallows Close carriage sidings were primarily for the coaching stock off excursion trains terminAting at Londesborough Road station. There were other carriage sidings for trains using Scarborough station.

[@746laurie]

[@jamesbeckwith3639]

Excellent video... I visited Scarborough recently and spent a bit of time on the station watching the Trans Pennine Class 68s coming in and out, and walked along Platform 1 to the Signal Box to take some photos but never even noticed the tunnel entrance that lay behind it or that there was once a line behind the box to Whitby...

[@TrekkingExploration]

The tunnel is extremely hidden. The signal box is nice too. Thank you for watching

[@ernestbailey9194]

What a lovely video. My wife & I stayed at Claughton Station for a weekend many years ago,as it was a B&B & a Cafe, it also had the Goods shed as a holiday let. We cycled all the way to Scarborough & up towards Robin Hoods Bay. What a climb that was. The owners were very friendly and they had a lot of memorabilia in the cafe, so I gave them the number for the house, as I had an old Bridge number which was the same as the Station house. I hope it is still there. We look forward to the next one as the beautiful views are to die for.

[@mc-tq5li]

Yet another excellent video. Keep up the good work...Thoroughly informative and entertaining.

Hi Ant what a brilliant video ! I can remember riding into Scarborough station in the late seventies & early eighties from Rotherham via York & it was so busy with lots of tracks & signals. So many memories of holidays with loved ones who sadly have now passed. Scarborough & Whitby are my favorite places to holiday in the UK. The train Station we departed from In Rotherham no longer exists its now an indian Restaurant! But its so much nicer than the new modern one. This video is full of nostalgia featuring beautiful scenery cant wait for watch the next part! Thank you ❤😊

[@malcolmrichardson3881]

This promises to be a great series of video's. The vintage images and film footage nicely illustrates the line's scale and importance, including those vast carriege/goods sidings at Scarborough. Your walk along the former trackbed reveals some wonderful railway architecture - bridges and viaduct especially - as well as the magnifient countryside which passengers enjoyed en route. Looking forward to the next instalment. Thank you!

Great video Ant. The loco D2051 was owned by a mate and last I heard of it was stored about ¼ mile from my house on North Norfolk railway. I've made a model of it in the condition it is on the film. You have found some awesome archive pictures. I actually walked through falsgrave tunnel when doing my driver training for BR in the 80s Minor point the carriage sidings were actually called Northstead I believe. Not sure when they closed but can you imagine how many summer Saturday trains were run if they need that many sidings for them back in the heyday

[@eddleetham]

I'd forgotten how large the carriage sidings were. They needed to be that big as excursion trains from all over the country would arrive at Londesborough Road station on a Saturday afternoon and then have to be stored for a week until they did their return journey the following Saturday morning. Londesborough Road station was only open during the summer holiday season, and possibly only on Saturdays.

[@grahamdavidcowley]

Excellent video. I've walked this line myself several times. The reason for the size of Gallows Close Sidings was that it was there that the railway kept all the seaside specials from various parts of the country. They were often very empty the majority of the week, but come the weekend.......! Looking forward to the next video. I also travelled the line in the 1950s, to a caravan site, where we were marooned for 5 days in monsoon weather one Whit Bank Holiday! The day for the homeward journey was cloudless. Happy times!

[@willswheels283]

Great video mate, it’s a lovely walk on that line, I’ve stayed twice at Cloughton station, it was a B&B and Tea Rolms for a number of years but they just do the B&B nowadays I think. A Recommended stay…Great Breakfast! I’ve walked and cycled the rest of the line and the views along the way in parts are great but that’s all I’m going to say.

[@rodsmith3911]

Another great video Ant. Between Gallows Close and Northstead Carriage Sidings there were two independent tracks the one on the West side was the line to and from the carriage sidings and the one on the East was the single line to Whitby. On the bit of film of the demolition contractors brakevan special I'm sure I saw Joe Brown the P. Way Inspector on the platform in a light coloured cap. He was a bit of a perfectionist and liked things looking just right so it must have been a very sad trip for him. If you look closely at the platforms on this line like the ones at Cloughton there is not a lot of space for two roads as the standard spacing between the tracks was only 5foot 6inches on the NER and not the standard 6 foot on most of the railways in the UK.
