Lovely photo but £4.4m!!!??? And it's rusting through already!!!

They seem to have gone for the ready rusted Angel of the North look and to be fair I think it came in £1.2 million under budget.

 

Part of the scheme is a new footpath direct from the station Scarborough bays car park to the footbridge which saves a few minutes walk, mainly crossing Leeman Road.

There has been such access for a number of years. I haven't used the new bridge yet, so it may have been modified as part of this scheme.

Anyone know what is hauling tomorrow's train now 45699 has returned to 10A? BIL or Bahamas......
