Scarborough Spa Express 1st Class

[bse35]

I have just booked on this tour on the 9th August in 1st class.
What do you get in first class on this tour?

TIA

I would imagine just a 1st class seat, maybe in a Compartment? not 100% to be honest though!

You'll get a seat in an FO. That's all.

Seconded, but if you are on from the first York stop for the tour via Harrogate and just about every other settlement north of Sheffield, you may need just something to keep you goind, ditto the way back.

And you could also try Jumbo's Chinese Buffet, or if you have a bit more cash you could go to Red Chilli opposite!

The tour doesn't travel via Harrogate anymore. Hasn't done since 2009. Now it travels via Wakefield, travelling south out of York to Normanton, Wakefield Kirkgate, up the single line link to Wakefield Westgate, then up the main line to Engine Shed Junction at Leeds, avoiding leeds heading over to Woodlesford & Castleford, and back to York and on to Scarborough.

Yes I did that whole route in First Class last summer, I was disapointed it did not go via Harrogate, but infact the route was much better than I had expected, it was 2 by 1 seating around tables in an open coach, very comfy, no food or drink included so do bring a drink or sandwich etc then enjoy a good meal while in Scarborough and bring a beer or bottle of wine for the return journey. I think it's only the WCR Jacobite where First Class passenegrs get tea & coffee included. Rgds Steve.

and the Chinese Supermarket next door is worth a visit as well. I should know, the Wife does much of our shopping there as its better than the supermarkets in Newcastle's Chinatown!
