Scarborough to York - DRIVERS EYE VIEW 

Excellent commentary and beautiful contextual shots

What a lovely trip. I appreciate your companion. I miss England. Such quiet beauty.

You honestly do not disappoint. I came here from the York to Lime St video (Chat Moss is my local line and Lime St my local). Petition to get this lad his own tv show for us railway buffs!

I think you'll find that George Hudson was a developer, financier and promoter of railways. Never was he an engineer.

In the sixties we went on holiday to Scarborough during Rowntrees factory fortnight where me mam and dad worked and the excursion trains all terminated at Londesborough Road this video has certainly brought memories flooding back

Again another excellent video with great narration . . . Can't wait to see more.

Enjoyable video, thanks for all the info, I need to travel this line soon. The line is surely one of the best stretches left in the UK, with it's Semaphores, scenery and the variety of trains.

Paul...What can I say??? superb vid pal.. detailed commentary and all the bag of mashings. Am ex Railway myself and can only say KEEP EM COMING PAL

Excellent video!! Awesome! One of the best videos I ever saw. Congratulations and thank you for publishing it

Great work yet again, well done.

Really excellent, many thanks

Very enjoyable ride thanks! 👍

I found this video by chance, thanks for posting, very interesting.

Wonderful production, filming and editing! Commercial quality stuff!

Great to meet you today Paul. I used to sign Scarborough, and have fond memories of the old box and semaphores of Falsgrave Signal Box.

My Christmas feel-good video to watch 🙂

Great job. Well done

Great video, I travel this line a lot.

Very nice video, thanks.

Very interesting from New Zealand thank you

A very good & informative video . Thank You for that .

Hi, great video, move over Portillo! I like the balance of the clips throughout the film. It is not just the view from the cab screen, off we go, then here we are but a lot more besides! Subscribed, thank you.

“... 2020, which hasn’t been the best of years”! Surely you jest. Great video. I wish my hearing were better. Without closed captioning and lots of captions, all the history is lost. The video is GREAT, though. Thanks.

Enjoyed your video. Great,Kind Regards.

super video,thanks

A great video very professional. Video 125 would be proud!

Very interesting. I hadn't realised TPX bought some locos and coaches. I shall have to partake once it is legal to do so! Great video, up to the standard of those you normally have to pay for :)

Amazing 🤩 video❤️

Just discovered your channel. I like the narrations you voice.btw I've also subscribed. as well.

Salutări din România👋👋

brilliant Paul

Love watching these. No way this could happen here in USA

Nice video

The only thing I'd mention is that I liked the way PTGRail announced changes of linespeed. There's that curvy bit around Kirkham Abbey which is alot slower than most of the rest of the line.

Remember Being Taken From Chidrens Home To Scarborough Had To Sing In Choir I Had To Sing Part Of Widdicombe fair Stay With Lovely Family Terrace Houses Overlooking Beach remember Eating Mussels Off The Rocks The Church We sang At Was The Methodist Seems Like Yesterday might Have Been1950 or Close Happy Memories

Great 😊 video is there still a turntable for steam 🚂 locos at Scarborough?

Interesting to note the driver does not sound the horn at the level crossings - as they used to do.. 'Flyingdales' 30 mins in is Fylingdales, just to add. The Russians often got it wrong when the still operating radar station opened there in the 1950s. A route map in the top right would be a great addition, if practicable?

You’re videos are amazing, thank you! How do you do the external passing shots? By yourself or friends in the local area?

would you do the snow hill lines

When did you film this video/take the journey?

Due to the distance between York and Scarborough and its position between them, Malton is an almost inevitable passing spot for trains when an hourly service runs. It seems ironic then that this is the one spot which is effectively reduced to single line working. The current 2 hourly services normally meet no trains in the opposite direction. Although I am certainly not advocating such a change it would seem more sensible from a cost saving point of view to make large parts of the rest of the line into single line working and restore a second platform at Malton as a passing point.

The station was "Huttons Ambo". Ambo is the Latin for both; High and Low Hutton. There was no dynamite at the time the line was built - it wasn't invented for more than twenty years later.

Haxby station has been greenlit now

Yet another excellent film. Plenty of history and line side information. The cutting in of views from the trackside is also a great idea. I wish some of the other people posting driver's eye views would follow this excellent lead. Following a various routes with no sound and minimal information is not at all enjoyable.Thank you so much.

Hi Paul, thank you for this video. It would be useful to RU-vidrs to also have the railway line from Hull Paragon via Driffield, Bridlington and Filey to Scarborough. Thanks in advance.

Great video! What is the reason behind the very short single section? I had thought it was the bridge itself that was single track, but clearly that isn't the case.

Common road mcg keeper is a role created by the King so the army at Strensall could safely cross the line and can only be cut with the monarchs permission.

Salut Paul 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Living in Malton its odd to see the train while im sat in my car at the crossing

When you said Grosmont in between Seamer and Malton, that "S" in the middle of Grosmont is actually a silent word. It's pronounce as Gromont for Grosmont. I've just made you a correction.

Good video, except some of the pronunciations. North Yorkshire Moors Railway, has access to Network Railway at Grosmount as it runs services to Whitby on Network Railway Metals.

Interesting video. However, it seems that the cabview video and the train spotting videos were taken on separate days.

Do they allow anyone to film ? Do the drivers not talk?

The class 68 diesel is extremely loud

Haxby due to reopen these years

Hi just for you info Scarborough people are known as Scarborians not Scarbrians like you said, but that said great vid, Regards a greatful Scarborian.

Harry Bartons, channel trains Minecraft and more

I do this rise every week it's boring after a while

Such a shame it was filmed using an old Kodak brownie.

Potash - pot ash not po tash

You should get a job doing these.

Great video.... However, you should not bemoan the loss of the old semaphore signalling, nor the old wooden gates, which during the Public Inquiry into the Hixon Level Crossing disaster of 1968 were described as a "creaking anachronism"... It was the technology of the day when it was installed, but it has now been overtaken by something far more modern and efficient in the form of LED signals, which are vastly superior from a train driver's point of view (I'm a retired driver with 40 years service) than the oil-lit semaphores I had to deal with in the late 1970's when I started, which are actually a health & safety issue to service... you try climbing up/down a rickety old ladder with one hand holding onto the rungs and the other holding the oil lamp.... you'll see immediately what I mean. The railway is not a museum, it evolves... Even the old incandescent type colour light signalling is vastly inferior to the new LED signalling, the only complaint of which is that they can actually be just a bit too bright, even dazzling at night.... especially the green aspects, and as for junction indicators... they're off the scale for brightness...

Class 68s are so bloody awful
