The East Yorkshireman
Steam hauled from Manchester Victoria east across the Pennines via Romiley and the former Midland Railway route through the Peak District National Park, Cowburn Tunnel, the Vale of Edale and Hathersage, then the 3½-mile Totley Tunnel to Sheffield (final passenger stop). Via Doncaster and Goole, crossing the River Ouse swing bridge, along the north bank of the Humber Estuary past the Humber Bridge and Hull at Anlaby Junction onto the Yorkshire Coast Line, through Beverley (Beverley Minster), the Yorkshire Wolds, Driffield and Bridlington (original station buffet), then single track through Bempton (climbing at up to 1 in 92) via Seamer Junction to Scarborough, with time to enjoy the beaches, harbour, Scarborough Castle and seafront. Return runs west via Malton, near Castle Howard, to York, where the steam locomotive is detached for a diesel-hauled finish, setting down at Sheffield, Hathersage, Romiley and Manchester Victoria.
