Halcyon days, proper loco and colour, blue & grey stock, semaphore signals Wish we still had these days, ah well.... at least we have video footage like this. thank you for sharing.

I love seeing all the lads in the cab, I remember when drivers let you do that and even sometimes let you stay in while they run the engine round. Before all the madness of health and safety.

Fantastic stuff! Shame we couldn't see more of the two 08s coupled together in motion. Scarborough is a shadow of its former self now, sadly. A 1000 thanks for putting this on.

What a great video. Fantastic machines the 40s, the railway was just so interesting back then. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories

I lived in Scarborough in the early 1980s, my children were young at that time. We would go from home [Cayton] to watch the trains at Seamer, especially the steam ones. Over those years we had day trips to Manchester and other places, Mk1 coaches and class 46 locos on the front. It was all so normal, and most enjoyable, back then . . .

Absolutely superb video! I loved the 03 racing the Peak at the beginning!

Brings back all the good memories when it was worth going out on the mainline! Excellent, Tony, Derby.

There is so much to value and reflect in this. The driver wi9th his bag hanging up in the cab, the HST in original colours at York and the 40s of course! I have had a few Class 37s on the long run from Glasgow to York and once had the then Gateshead God of 37250 in fresh blue paint from York to the seaside and back!
