Cool video 📹

[@hirstshafton]

Great to see all the action, along with a few shots of Saltburn. Good to see the funicular rail running again.

[@sarahandwills]

Yes, it was a nice sunny day to visit Saltburn. The funicular looked well cared-for and was being very well used.

[@adelestevens]

No tail lamp on when leaving Saltburn on the 50?

[@blue2sco]

Oooooh 37.....sorry Class 50?

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

What a terrible track layout !
Also worth saying that the class 50 was not happy, that is not how they should sound at all, sounded like a cylinder or two were shut down.

[@sarahandwills]

Yeah, it's a bit like a kid would put together a trainset, with the track snaking this way and that. If the 50 was sick, let's hope it's nothing too serious!
