Peak Rail Presents - Doug Copley's Lineside Images #3.4 Driffield to Scarborough (1986)
Doug Copley's Lineside Images
'Doug Copley's Lineside Images' are 68 titles filmed 1980's, 1990's & 2000's variously 12-90 minutes long. They come with Doug's own commentary and tend to follow lines of route, or particular workings, filmed over multiple return visits.
Doug's videos often include interludes of impressively vocal bird song!
In Alfred Hitchcock (filmmaker) style, Doug occasionally makes brief cameo appearances in his own films.
Doug Copley
Doug gave annual shows to Peak Rail Sheffield Branch. When he died in 2008 his films were kindly made available to the Peak Railway Association by his family so that appreciative enthusiasts can continue to enjoy his work in his memory.
During his working life as a steelworks commissioning engineer he travelled extensively and the collection includes South America, South Africa, India, Turkey (steam), and Australia. The UK collection includes many secondary lines, and also industrial railways. A treasure trove.

Lovely film. I loved the old DMU's, they were so comfy!
I remember as a child further back to the early fifties as we had a holiday caravan at Flamborough throughout the fifties and sixties. The line was double throughout before rationalisation and both Scarborough and Bridlington sheds were a dream for steam on summer weekends. We were lucky the line remained open from Hull to Scarborough after Beeching. Withernsea, Hornsea and others weren't so lucky. Thank you for posting and reviving such wonderful memories.
THANKS I ENJOYED THAT BEEN ON THAT LINE TO BEMPTON FILEY AND BRIDLINGTON A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT WAS FILMED
brought back many a child hood memory as someone whom grew up in Driffield & used the Hull - Scarborough line.
