On Saturday 30
th October we caught the 9am train from Pickering to Whitby. What a difference a day makes. The sun was out, the wind had dropped and a good time was had by all. From some of these shots you can see just how bright and sunny it was in the harbour area. Whitby is a town a really do like, but don't go on Halloween weekend, the place is full of 'Goths'
This is the old lifeboat, no longer in service doing that, just simply now for pleasure.
This is Elizabeth the steam bus in service. A Sentinel built vehicle was originally a flat bed lorry. For a small charge this bus takes you round the town, and a jolly good ride she is! 
Ah, now we have just returned from Whitby, and here is our train standing at Grosmont. This is 45428, a 'Black Five' 4-6-0 locomotive named 'Eric Tracey'. This loco has a main line ticket.
'Sir Nigel Gresley' at Grosmont awaiting departure for Pickering. 
And here is 'Sir Nigel Gresley' on her way up towards the Grosmont Motive Power Depot, and on to Pickering
At the Grosmont Motive Power Depot, we have her locomotive 76079 at the coaling tower. This a BR Standard Class 4 2-6-0
Awaiting our departure for Pickering. Not a pleasant journey this time. The service was very busy, and despite out efforts we were joined by a family with an uncontrollable child. I am not a child lover!!
