Right, we're ready to leave Scarborough. At the coach station, a Hardwick's (Wallace Arnold) Leyland Leopard, with locally built Plaxton coachwork, has just arrived.
We catch a United Mercedes minibus heading out of town towards Falsgrave.
It's here that we find the Tap & Spile.
Nearby was Falsgrave signal box.
Falsgrave was the location of the junction with the Whitby line. Trains reversed out of Scarborough before changing directions and going through the tunnel. The year is 1923.
On the corner of Scalby Road, the Crown Tavern, with beers from the Marston range.
As we head along the valley we find Scarborough Mere. Here are a few views from 1961.
Soon we come to Seamer station, where the North Eastern Railway replaced the old brick-built Seamer East signal box with a 'modern' wooden one.
A class 47 runs light through Seamer in the early 1970s.
A pair of EWS locos (66164 & 66120) with an engineer's train at Seamer.
Trans Pennine services call at Seamer.
On the line towards Filey, the NER had a station at Cayton, a fair distance from the village itself.
Just outside Filey is the village of Muston, where we find the Ship.
Filey railway station is our next stop. The NER's petrol electric railcar is seen here.
Also under the overall roof, a DMU in 1987.
Filey signal box and traditional level crossing in 1989.
A local independent,bus company, Primrose Valley, once ran into Filey.
East Yorkshire was the main operator.
Lovitt's was a short-lived concern, with a town service.
Time for a pint..... in Bonhommes Bar.
Down at the beach in Filey.
From the cliff top and town centre, there are nice views over the bay.
Right, we leave Filey town behind and rest for the night at Lowfield Farm caravan park.
That's it for this post. More of the Yorkshire Coast next time. Meanwhile, you can follow the route here.
