20th March 1976
A 5-car diesel multiple unit waits in Scarborough station with a train for York under the original 1845 G.T. Andrews trainshed on 20th March 1976. The leading vehicle is a BR Swindon Class 124 Transpennine unit, the second is a Met-Camm. The station was expanded from the original 2 platforms to 9, the clock tower dating from 1883. Today platforms 6-9 on the right here have been taken out. I was on a geology field trip to look at the analogues to the North Sea oil source rocks & reservoirs in the Jurassic cliffs from Filey to Whitby. This was the first day & we had travelled up from Kings Cross to York & after checking into the hotel - the totally misnamed Grand Hotel - time for a stroll down to the station to take a few evening shots.
