Celebrate 200 years of Railway History. In 1825, The Stockton & DarlingtonRailway opened the world's first passenger railway station on Tuesday 27th September - a milestone that transformed travel forever. Steam locomotives carried passengers and goods at unprecenedented speed, sparking a transport revolution that connected towns, boosted industry and shaped modern Britain.
- The Central Tramway Company Scarborough Limited was established
- The Central Tramway started operating on 1 August. The funicular was operated by steam, the steam house was situated away from the top station. Since drivers had no view of the 2 cars, they used marks on the rope to indicate the car positions. The track was 71 m (233 ft) long on a 1 in 2 gradient. The track was 4 ft 8 ½ in (1,435 mm) standard gauge.
1910 the funicular was converted to electric drive.
1932 the cars were replaced and the motor placed under the top station. Driving was done from a driving station at the top of the station with full view of the cars.
