Hi From Scarborough!!
 

I come from Scarborough, Britain's First Resort, and I have been a fan of trains since the age of 5. My dad used to take me out on trips on Heritage Railways, and I loved the views and countryside. To this day I have been on all Heritage Railways, and have enjoyed it. I am also a fan of Modern Railways, like National express east Coast and CrossCountry. I am glad I found this, I've wanted to find somewhere where I can talk about trains for a long time. :)

Welcome. We like trains as well so you should fit right in (a liking for pies is also useful.) :)

Seconded. Welcome. All train, pie and ale talk welcome

Welcome! :)

Welcome mate, talk trains as much as you like whilst munching away lol, no problem. Scarborough, "Mmm" never been there, Yorkshire I believe? Anywhere near the tea plantations ?
Anyway all joking apart, this is a great site and the people on here are really good honest mates.

Believe me,I used to be an Ovalteeny !

Welcome to the Forum and I'll echo the views of all the others in confirming what a friendly and knowledgeable place it is.

I've been to Scarborough by train at some point in the distant past but I'm trying to visualise what it looks like in my mind (without success). I googled it but still the images didn't ring a bell at all. Never mind - I look forward to reading your posts about the railways in your area or anywhere else.

Welcome to the Forum John. Look forward to your posts.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

And a warm welcome from me too!

Hello JRT

Welcome to the Forum. Scarborough a great place for holidays. Living in York during the fifties had our annual holiday there several times staying near the Esplanade (Holbeck Rd??) Last year went with wife for the day from Shipley, W York for a nostalgic day out. Northsted manor gardens was just the same. Previous visit being 2000 the lasy day out with my mother. In steam days the shed was 50E. I liked the D 49s but this may be all history to you. I hope you en joy your interest. A quedstion i do have is whatever happened to Scarborough football? I remember them playing Chelsea in the cup.
