Whitby to Sandsend by Train

I never had the chance to ride this beautiful line, now thanks to the wonderful route(North Yorkshire Coast 2019) by Mark Thompson we can with the help of Train Simulator 2021 and Final Cut Pro once again take the train from Whitby to Sandsend.

Fantastic! We saw part of the old railway bridge on a walk yestetday and wondered about this line. Such a clever production and wonderful to watch. So nostalgic. Thank you

I often rode that line when I was a child.and still have vivid memories of it. My grandfather was a train driver and occasionaly we had the added bonus of seeing inside the cab befor the journey. pleasant memories indeed.
Thank you for creating such a nice relaxing vidio.

Fantastic. What a travesty this route no longer exists along this beautiful coastline.

My grandad started on the railways as a fireman in Middlesbrough Newport in 1909. In about 1928 he transferred as a locomotive driver to Saltburn shed, where he stayed until retirement in 1961. He worked for the NER, then LNER and finally British Railways. He must have known this line very well, driving from Saltburn to Scarborough or Darlington. I remember him setting off to walk down the line to work in the mornings with his "bait" tin and bottle of cold tea supplied by gran. Like you, I never travelled on this line, but I do remember the iron bridges at Sandsend.

What a beautiful route! Thought the video was good too, enjoyed the narration as we progressed, thanks for uploading.

Super thanks Mike. I remember the railway when we holidayed in Whitby during the 1950s but never saw a train! We go to Whitby every year and manage to include a walk on parts of the old line. If only it were still open.

Fantastic production Michael ! Wish we do it for real once gain, plus many other routes in the north.

Wow! Absolutely loved this Simulation! As would my late Brother, he was a Steam Railway Enthusiast particularly the Line between Guisborough to Whitby. He often tried to explain the Route between Whitby & Sandsend , having had many a Holiday in Whitby I will probably have travelled this actual Route but being so Young at the time have no recollection! Many Thanks

Very clever. Holidays spent in Sandsend as a young child late 1940's / early 50's

Briliant!

Just returned from a week based in Whitby, armed with a 1919 Ward Lock guide. I managed to recreate many of the photos in the guide, but couldn't manage the view up the beck into Sandsend, obviously taken from somewhere along the railway line.

very clever I really enjoyed it ☺️ ! Thanks

It is a shame you left the camping coaches off. They were in the siding of the goods yard just before the first of the two bridges in Sandsend

Brilliant - thanks Michael 👍
