    Going from the city of York, to the coastal town of Scarborough, crossing through classic English countryside, equipped with modern electric trains the York to Scarborough line is a key line for express services in the north, with a route length of 42 miles


    The locos:

    Nova 3 is the name that TransPennine Express (TPE) have given to their thirteen new rakes of Mark 5A coaches, that are being built by CAF in Spain and will be hauled by Class 68 locomotives.

    The British Rail Class 185 Desiro is a class of diesel multiple-unit (DMU) passenger trains built by Siemens Transportation Systems in Germany for the train operating company First TransPennine Express. They are currently operated by TransPennine Express. A £260 million order for 51 three-car trains and associated maintenance depots was placed in 2003, and deliveries took place between 2006 and 2007.





    The route map:

    The main question is, will we be able to use the depot at night? ;)

    I would love to have this route! Although, when DTG adds steam locomotives, would they add The Scarborough Spa Express?

    I think they were just clarifying because the OP said electric.

    There could be depot moves in the early morning or night. Or maybe in one of the scenarios there could be some locomotive runarounds in the depot
