Token exchange at Glaisdale station, the last loop before Whitby.<br>[&copy; Geoff Plumb 2017]

A token photograph of Glaisdale - the machine has two single line tokens remaining but fortunately the chance of three Down trains to Whitby appearing without any Up trains is fairly remote… <br>[&copy; Geoff Plumb 2017]

The sharply curved Grosmont P1 with the NRMR P2-4 in the background, the line curves round to the left for Whitby where the HST reversed at Grosmont Ground Frame to access the NYMR.<br>[&copy; Geoff Plumb 2017]

After reversal over the NR to NYMR connection the tour reaches Grosmont P2. Movements on to Whitby line are controlled by signals on this magnificent gantry from Falsgrave (Scarborough) decommissioned there on 10 Oct 2010.
