Route York - Newcastle & Middlesbrough (2006)

I suggest the ECML during the GNER era with the Middlesbrough spur.

York - Newcastle

York
Thirsk
Northallerton
Durham
Darlington
Chester - Le - Street
Newcastle

York - Middlesbrough

York
Thirsk
Northallerton
Yarm
Eaglescliffe
Thornaby
Middlesbrough

This route would be 98-ish miles!

Fleet:



Class 185:



Layers:

Class 43’s High Speed Train repainted into GNER livery!

Class 220’s

Class 150’s

Class 142’s

and the list goes on!

Reasons:

I suggest this route as it’s reasonable distance allows quality driving time in the Class 91 & Class 185

I picked this era as the First & GNER livery’s are amazing despite being simple.

Thanks for reading

 

I would love this route

 

So would I, personally this & the stretch between Newcastle and Edinburgh are my favourites on the ECML
