Often went to Redcar with my parents when I was a kid, always get the train direct to Redcar, would go round the shops, go on the seafront, head into the amusements and play on the 2p machines and then we'd usually go to the car boot sale at Redcar Racecourse then get the train home.
Happy memories
Know what you mean about Tesma's looking heavy duty although I don't think they are actually bad buses, if only the seating layout wasn't all over the place and were a bit more comfortable.
Yeah Redcar was somewhere my parents used to take me when I was a nipper along with Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Seaburn and Seaton Carew. We used to go to Scarborough sometimes too but, obviously, not as often as the places I've mentioned. The amusement arcades were probably the highlight of my outings back then as well. Whitby, as far as I remember, never had any amusements and I recall being bored whenever we went. Perhaps that influenced my decision not to go there today.
