Yorkshire Dales Holiday:
Yorkshire Steam
19 July 2005 - Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway
Lucy and Henry wait at Bolton Abbey station for our train back to our starting
point, Embsay
The award-winning Bolton Abbey station
Our locomotive, having run round the train, reverses up to the carriages
This was our second time on the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway, but the first
with a steam train
Henry and Lucy getting a bit of fresh air while Stephen watches the locomotive
running round
Back at Embsay, Lucy and Henry ponder whether to do as they are told and to cross
the line, although they have no need to do so.
21 July 2005 - Flying Scotsman to Scarborough
Under the impressive roof of York railway station, Flying Scotsman pulls
in to platform five, where her many passengers have been patiently waiting, and
watched by interested onlookers on the GNER Kingdom of Fife
Our trip today was a non-stop run to Scarborough, which was a delightful
journey. We had almost three hours there before a repeat trip back to York. The
coaching stock was mixed, but we were fortunate to get a lovely first class
corridor carriage, and on the way back had the compartment to ourselves. A good
carriage really does make the difference to any journey by railway.
