Long Distance Roundabout

This is the turntable which is just outside the throat of Scarborough Railway Station. Once you've cleared the platforms and rounded the left hand curve, heading towards York, the track to the turntable can be seen, veering to the right.
It is this facility which enables Scarborough to be a fairly regular recipient of the summertime steam hauled charter trains and rail tours.
Being a terminus station, a fair amount of jiggery (and quite a bit of pokery) goes into extracting the locomotive from the front of the train, reversing it down the track to this turntable, spinning it around, reversing it back and attaching it to the other end the right way around.
The guys doing it seem to be having fun, though!
A few weeks ago, ex LNER A3 Pacific 4472 (aka 60103) "Flying Scotsman" had a turn on this very table before spending the night at Scarborough Platform 1.

INTERESTING FACT
To the left of the locomotive, running along the retaining wall, you can see the longest railway station bench in the world.
