Whitby - Middlesbrough Esk Valley Line train leaving Ruswarp
Rail Journey | Northern Railway: Class 142094 To Whitby From Middlesbrough
Today we are riding on-board Northern Trains: Class 142094 To Whitby. Captured here operating the 10:20 service from Middlesbrough via Battersby.
This service consisted of two carriages which was enough for this line as due to the winter season many passengers put off traveling to the Coast.
142094 was on it's own for the first two trips, although was coupled to a Class 156 to form the final train of the day which would have continued to Newcastle.
I have been on 142094 before on the Esk Valley Line, although only to Danby on a short service.
I must say having a bouncy pacer made the journey quite amusing as other passengers seemed to take a dislike to the train.
This video was filmed on the 19th January, 2019. On this day Industrial Action was taking place.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Esk Valley Railway Action - 07/04/2018

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF WHITBY - Whitby Train Station - 30/05/17.
Trying out my recently purchased Panasonic FZ45 Camera, it's an older camera but it has the specs i require for good sound capture.
LNER B1 No. 61264
Designed by Edward Thompson, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London North Eastern Railway (LNER), the B1 class was a wartime utility mixed-traffic locomotive for general passenger and freight duties - the LNER equivalent of the ubiquitous LMS Black Five. A total of 410 were built between 1942 and 1952 and were to be found throughout the former LNER system in England, Scotland and, for a short period, on the Southern Region.
The first member of the class was named Springbok in honour of a visit by South African leader Jan Smuts, and the first 40 were all given names of various breeds of antelope, but with so many being built most were not named.
No. 61264 was completed and entered traffic on 5th December 1947. Used on the many express passenger services between Nottingham, Leicester and London (Marylebone), 61264 was withdrawn in November 1965. Rather than being scrapped immediately, the loco became Departmental no. 29 and was allocated to stationary boiler duties, still at Colwick.
No. 61264 is owned by the Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust, and has worn a number of different numbers and names in preservation including 61034 Chiru and 61005 Impala.
North York Moors Historical Railway Trust

The railway operates with the support and commitment of over 550 volunteers.
The NYMR cares for, operates and develops the historic railway we own between Pickering and Grosmont.
Its trains also operate over the Network Rail line from Grosmont to Whitby.
It aims to provide a high quality, safe and authentic evocation of the steam age for the public.
The railway is owned and operated by a Charitable Trust, providing education for all ages.
The NYMR is a fully accredited museum.
Statement of Significance
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a preserved historic railway stretching for 18 miles through the heart of the North York Moors National Park, from Pickering via Levisham, Newton Dale and Goathland to Grosmont, with a further 6 mile extension over Network Rail’s Esk Valley line to Whitby and occasionally Battersby. It is the largest preserved heritage railway in the UK in terms of route mileage operated and passenger numbers.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is locally, regionally and nationally significant due to its historic, scientific, aesthetic, cultural and social values.
Scientific Value
In the process of conserving and restoring steam locomotives, heritage diesels, railways infrastructure, Permanent Way and signalling, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway preserves and passes on the specialist skills and knowledge of traditional railway practice. The coming of the railways saw amazing engineering innovation transforming the way people and goods moved around, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway was at the heart of these new developments as one of the earliest lines in the North of England.
Aesthetic Value
The stations of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway are restored to reflect different periods of the railway’s history. Pickering station, by architect G T Andrews, is presented as it would have looked in 1937 during LNER days, Levisham as a 1912 NER country station, Goathland as a 1922 station in the final year of NER and Grosmont in the style of British Railways, North Eastern Region, in 1952. The Railway’s historical atmosphere has ensured that it has made many appearances on film and television, and is a popular subject for artists and photographers.
The Railway travels through the beautiful and varied scenery of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, which includes a number of SSSIs, the stunning geological formation of Newtondale and the nature reserve of Fen Bog.
Cultural Value
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a vast repository of skills, knowledge and enthusiasm associated with the railways. A strong culture of steam and heritage diesel nostalgia pervades the Railway, and the restored stations evoke for the visitor a sense of stepping back in time and a chance to take part in a moving image of our past. The Railway both celebrates and commemorates the history of railways and its involvement in the life of the local community.

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has a maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
The earliest record of a permanent settlement is in 656, when as Streanæshealh it was the place where Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first abbey, under the abbess Hilda. The Synod of Whitby was held there in 664. In 867, the monastery was destroyed by Viking raiders. Another monastery was founded in 1078. It was in this period that the town gained its current name, Whitby (from white settlement in Old Norse). In the following centuries Whitby functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, the trade in locally mined alum, and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery.
The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour, which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers. The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of Captain Cook and William Scoresby, as well as the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff. The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
While Whitby's cultural and historical heritage contribute to the local economy, the town does suffer from the economic constraints of its remote location, ongoing changes in the fishing industry, relatively underdeveloped transport infrastructure, and limitations on available land and property. As a result, tourism and some forms of fishing remain the mainstay of its economy. It is the closest port to a proposed wind farm development in the North Sea, 47 miles (76 km) from York and 22 miles (35 km) from Middlesbrough. There are transport links to the rest of North Yorkshire and North East England, primarily through national rail links to Middlesbrough and road links to Teesside, via both the A171 and A174, and Scarborough by the former. As at 2011, the town had a population of 13,213.
Уи́тби (англ. Whitby) — город в английском графстве Норт-Йоркшир, Великобритания. Расположен на восточном побережье Британии у дельты реки Эск. Был основан нортумбрийским королём Освиу в 656 году, в IX веке разорён викингами, построившими на его месте деревню. Окончательно возродился лишь после нормандского завоевания. В XVIII столетии город стал центром рыболовного промысла, судостроения и добычи минералов (квасцов и гагата), вследствие чего начал быстро развиваться. На сегодняшний день основной статьёй доходов Уитби является туризм. По данным переписи 2001 года, в городе проживало чуть более 13,5 тысяч человек.
