North Bay Railway, Miniature railway in North Bay, Scarborough, England.
The North Bay Railway is a miniature railway in Scarborough operating over approximately 1.4 kilometers of track between Peasholm Park and Scalby Mills. Four diesel-hydraulic locomotives on 50-centimeter gauge rails carry passengers on scenic rides along the coast.
The railway began operating in 1931 and was closed during World War II for military use. Service resumed after the war in 1945.
The railway station sits within a broader entertainment zone where visitors experience train travel alongside other recreational activities. This location has become a social gathering point for families seeking a combination of nostalgia and contemporary amusement.
The railway runs daily from April through October and on weekends and school holidays during the rest of the year. The station is located near other attractions, allowing visitors to combine activities in one area.
The four locomotives date from the 1930s with names such as Neptune and Triton that have operated since opening. These historic machines form the backbone of operations and retain their original construction.
