The Autumn East Yorkshire RHTT diagram commences, Bridlington - 2568+570
Lots of the 'blue stuff' here, as the leading class 37, 37422/266, ex-D6966, 'Victorious' gets under way south, passing under the large Station Road over-bridge. The scene here is now denuded of its semaphore signalling, old sidings track and junctions and the general feel of the place has changed considerably. As these and other pictures show, the surrounding area to the seaside, south of the station has now been filled not with the 'Sheds' we are familiar with on the tracks, but with medium sized air-craft hangar type buildings of 'BnQ', 'Block & Quayle, 'Lidl Supermarket' and, not opened yet, the last bit of space, by 'B&M' which I believe stands for, 'Big and Massive'?. So the Station now feels totally hemmed in on all sides with no open space at all, palisade fencing has gone up alongside the old derelict platform 7 line, the line now gone. The 37 could be heard 'warbling' and tooting, at accommodation crossings quite a way south towards Carnaby, and the blue smoke was also another tell-tale marker, with the departure of the set, and its return not timed here until after dark, at 19:30, was time to leave... 1st day in the bag!
This was the first day's run of the East Yorkshire R.H.T.T. with D.R.S. class 37s, 'Electro-Diesel Locomotives', 37422/266, ex-D6966, 'Victorious', and, at the back, 37218, ex-D6918, 37422 looks to have a 'small bird emblem?' on the side of the loco, though it looks like its been recently 'stuck on', the loco also has a small 'B.R. Intercity Logo' on the side as well. This is the 3J51, York Thrall Europa, via Scarborough, Bridlington, Hull, Goole, Hatfield, and return via Hessle and Bridlington, at 19:31, to York Thrall Europa working. The set consists of the usual 'Sandite Units', blue FEA-B, R.H.T.T. A Tank Wagons', mostly water, heated, with the Sandite added as the units sprays the railhead.
