Is this Yorkshire's Most Beautiful Lost Railway? The Whitby to Loftus Line
The Whitby to Loftus Railway has been closed since 1958.
Much of the route does however remain with numerous relics and reminders of the railway that once served the likes of Sandsend, Staithes and Kettleness.
In Part one of this series i begin my journey at the former Whitby West Cliff Station passing along the coastal cliff edges where 4 viaducts once stood proud but all now removed.
I head on up towards the site of Sandsend Station that still survives today.
**** Error in video. I mention one viaduct was wooden it is not it was Iron.

Superb footage of what must have been an incredible railway experience and an engineering marvel. The closure of the line, as you suggest, is something to lament, although you wonder whether it would have survived what looks like a significant amount of cliff erosion. The archive clip of a steam train entering Sandsend Station and disgorging all those passengers makes a vivid impression. Might it be the same today, if the line had remained in being?

@TrekkingExploration 4 месяца назад

I'm pleased you enjoyed it Malcolm and thank you. I do feel it would be busy but more in a tourism " ride along the coast" journeys although I know I'd travel up there for a break too

Movie footage and not an accurate depiction of the line in 1947. It's from the film Holiday Camp starring Jack Warner as Joe Huggett. The film was released on 5th August 1947.

⁠@@neiloflongbeck5705 I’ve seen that film many times and I do think they used actual railway footage for the film, none of the actors were shown getting off the train. They then caught the bus supposedly to Butlins in Filey I suppose, via Lythe bank, which is shown in the film. I can’t think they went to the trouble and filmed this for the film, in fact most of the film was shot on set. Sorry to be a bore.

What a magnificent railway and after the Larpool viaduct.I remember as a four year old standing below the tressel at sandend with an ice cream in my hand watching in haw as a train passed over.It was like something out of the Wild West.Your presentation plus the information and your respect the privacy of the locals is outstanding.I’ve watched this four times already!

I've always been fascinated by this line, and never wanted a time machine as much as I do now. Your atmosphere of your videos is enchanting, the choice of music is spot on and creates a sympathetically nostalgic mood. The drone photography is wonderful and captures the beauty of North Yorkshire perfectly - tourism companies should be snapping at your heels for some of this footage!

Thank you for taking us places some of us will never be able to go Ant, very much appreciated. Thinking about the tracks as we see them now compared to how they were when active and the difference is huge. There would have been no vegetation at all on active lines, no trees, no weeds, nothing, just ballast and tracks. All kept clear with active walking and weedkillers. Just an observation.

Simply excellent - thank you. What a delightful railway this would have been today, if it had survived the axe; but probably a cash-pit for maintenance with the coastal erosion problems.

Note that the Loftus to Whitby line was closed in 1958 which was a few years before Beeching was employed to wield his infamous Axe. Just a few years ago the site of Newholm Viaduct was landscaped when the new sea wall was built so more remains were lost. Larpool Viaduct was built of brick because the designer, Francis Fox, was concerned about its vicinity to the effects of the sea. Several of the iron viaducts were extensively repaired because of corrosion and the deteriorating condition of them all was one of the reasons given for closure in 1958. Larpool Viaduct of course still stands.

What a superb video, such an Engineering feat with that terrain, and so sad it’s all gone, apart from the remains of a bygone era.

@neiloflongbeck5705 4 месяца назад

The iron pillars of the viaducts were filled with concrete. The initial estimate for the construction of the line was £235,278 of which £66,100 was for the viaducts and tunnels. In the end the line cost £655,077 (in 2010 prices that's a whopoing £32 million) or £40,942 per mile. These figures come from Michael William's dissertation.

I recently went from my home in Saltburn to Whitby on the X4 bus. A pretty journey passing through many valleys with lovely country-side. It would have been nice to have gone on the train. There is still a spur from Saltburn to the Bowlby Potash Mine used all the time to take Potash from the mine to Teesport. The remains of stations at Brotton, Boosbeck and Loftus are still there and there is fairly modern bridge from Carlin How to Skinningrove ,just before Loftus.

Reminds me of pleasant walks along the beach to Sandsend with the dog! The coast line was a lovely route with great views out to sea and it's a sad shame that it's not still there as it would be a great line for tourists all the way from Scarborough to Middlesbrough. Still worth the effort to walk where it can be accessed and between Whitby and Scarborough it makes a good days ride on a mountain bike! Look forward to seeing the next part now.......

This is revelation to me. I wasn't aware that there was a line beyond West Cliff Station and how open the land appears to be in comparison with the approach from Whitby. Following your series of Scarborough to Whitby videos I wondered if there was anything left of West Cliff Station. Well this answers that and how beautiful and well kept it is! A question Ant, does the cinder path go all the way to West Cliff Station or does it stop short?
