The Scarborough Spa Express
There was a time, a few years ago, when steam was a regular occurrence through Woodlesford station. The Scarborough Spa Express operated 3 times a week through the summer months but now only operates 3 times a year at the October half term school holidays.
LMS Jubilee Class 45699 Galatea was in charge of this year’s first Scarborough Spa Express filmed at Woodlesford station on its morning trip to Scarborough.
This was my first time using my DJI Osmo for filming any main line action. I’m happy with the quality of the video but I’m working on improving the sound quality.
No steam on the morning SSE at Wakefield Westgate

48151, 45699 Galatea and 46115 Scots Guardsman Triple Head to Dereham
The weather was pretty naff as rain continued for the second day in a row but it did mean that any gardening was out of the question. It had come to my attention that three steam locomotives were moving from Carnforth to Dereham where they will take part in the Mid Norfolk Railway’s steam gala. I've tried in the past to photograph what I suppose are best called positioning moves for locomotives without a great deal of success. Timetables seem to go out of the window if I’m attempting to find a suitable spot for a bit of video or a few photographs. I couldn't remember ever seeing a main line triple header so I decided to give this one a go. It was scheduled to pass through Woodlesford station at 15:27 which isn't too far from home. But would it be on time.
There had been some rumours on social media site that a diesel would be involved in the makeup of the train but that wasn't the case.
The locomotives making up the train were:
• LMS Class 8F 48151
• LMS Jubilee Class 45699 Galatea
• LMS Royal Scot Class 46115 Scots Guardsman
As it happens the triple header arrived just a few minutes behind schedule and as a bonus the train made a short stop in the station as though rehearsing for the “Scarborough Spa Express” steam hauled summer service which picks up and drops off passengers at Woodlesford.
After a short stop they were off on their journey to the Mid Norfolk Railway where they will be in action over the weekend.

Both the Scarborough Spa Express and Scarborough Flyer were
operating through Wakefield Kirkgate again this week. Once again they were affected by the Steam ban in
operation nationwide and both had diesel locomotives tucked in behind the steam engine. The diesels were doing most of the work.

LMS Jubilee Class 46599 Galatea
I made a quick trip
out on Monday afternoon to see if I could get some video of LMS Jubilee Class
46599 Galatea. As far as I could make out it would be passing through
Woodlesford station with empty coaching stock on a move from Kings Lynn to
Carnforth.
Surprising 46599 Galatea arrived through the station almost exactly on time. Rather fitting I thought that it should be passing through Woodlesford one of its old stomping grounds in the days of steam with such wonderful express as “The Tames Clyde Express”
All over in a few
seconds but never mind she was listed to be in charge of the Fyld Coast Express
on Wednesday 22 May 2013 so perhaps a chance to catch up with her somewhere on
the Settle to Carlisle Railway as she made her way to Blackpool.
Here’s the video shot
at Woodlesford.
