Express 2007
Welcome to the steamsounds Scarborough Spa Express 2007 micro-site

The Scarborough Spa Express

York-Harrogate-Leeds-York-Scarborough-
York-Leeds-Harrogate-York

Each Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday

24th July to 30th August
PLUS BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY, 27th AUGUST

Operated by The Railway Touring Co

Although this site mainly concerns the Scarborough Spa Express trains to be run by the Railway Touring Company in 2007 you will also find additional information about the similar trains which were run by British Rail in the 1980s.
I will add news as it becomes available and, once the trains start running, if someone passes on the information(!), I'll keep the site updated with the running times achieved which you will be able to compare with the best times we experienced back in the 1980s when 'proper' Scarborough Spas last ran!

Once the Scarborough Spa Express starts running I'll be counting on YOU for times and performance logs to keep this site up to date!

Please get in touch if you have any information or news about these trains!

On the main steamsounds web site you will find recordings of the Scarborough Spa Express from the 1980s and, once they start running, 2007 (I hope!)
