Thirsk

Thirsk station is about twenty miles north of York. It is the first station north of St Neots (near Peterborough) which is not served by GNER. Served by Northern Spirit services on Transpennine services. Traffic through Thirsk consists of freight and passenger workings and an hour on the station can be very productive (photo-wise anyway!).
