I like the idea of doing a rail journey via an alternative route rather than just going by the quickest route. The alternative routes are always more interesting than the direct routes & with nice scenery. A good example of this is the service between York & Leeds which goes via Harrogate. I have never done the journey from Scarborough to York via the coastal line & Hull, but I would love to one day. I also like the added bonus of the return journey to Scarborough by bus. Thank you for sharing Ricky, another very enjoyable video diary. 🙂👍

Yeah, I was surprised why I didn't do this railway journey before via the long way round to York via Hull but direct service with no changes. The train departs Monday to Saturday at 08:15 from Scarborough. The views are incredible and will totally do this again. It had to be Coastliner bus journey home as I didn't fancy riding a full train service. Thank you Richard :-)

It would be nice to but think it's unlikely it'll happen. I caught the last Sheffield to Scarborough service in 2021 and between Bridlington and Scarborough, there were very few people on board. But, anything can happen and if they did it, they have to announce the service to Filey to prevent passengers travelling the long way round.

The Remaining 155s that were converted to 153s the ones that used to Work with Northern last year one would couple upto an exsisting Northern 155 or 158 on the Brid to York Runs and sometimes Leeds to Wigan NW. Talking About the 3 car 158s they also work Sheffield to Scarborough via Hulls if a 170 isn't available

Your right Callum, they were. The conversions was made between 1990/1991 (I think) as the replacement for the class 121 Bubble Cars. They were epic units and provided extra compacity where needed. A shame there isn't many left especially they are with Transport For Wales and ScotRail. Yes, that is right. The 3 carriage 158's are rarely based in Hull but sometimes they will bring one onto Scarborough to Sheffield diagrams. On Sunday's, most of the 170's are not in use for Scarborough to Sheffield diagrams. So, class 150 & 158 units are allocated for Scarborough to Sheffield diagrams.

Nice one. And it's the only class 155 that works between Scarborough and Bridlington. Hope you had a good ride? East Yorkshire does run EastRider service 45/46 which runs frequently between Pocklington and York. With just the once-a-day service between Bridlington and York.
