A Middleton Press spokesperson said: “Once thronging with holiday traffic, the Hull to Scarborough route is now more aptly described as a ‘minor line’.
“Starting at Hull, it heads north over the East Riding of Yorkshire towards Beverley. From Driffield, it turns back towards the east coast, running up to Scarborough, where it terminates.
“The book, which also covers Filey Holiday Camp Branch, is packed with maps and photographs covering the line’s history over many decades.”
