Welcome to the website of East Yorkshire Railway Society. The
society was formed in 1991 to bring together and encourage railway enthusiasts of all ages and interests with monthly
meetings featuring videos, photo presentations and talks by members and guest
speakers covering a wide range of railway topics. Members' interests are
varied, including historical, modelling, steam, modern image and overseas
railways and our membership includes some excellent photographers and modellers.
Some of their work can be seen on our feature pages and you can click any of the
photos on this page for larger images.
You can also find us on
Facebook.
We meet at Driffield
Community Centre, Mill Street, Driffield YO25 6TR. 7:00
for 7:30pm on the second Monday of every month, excluding December and
August. There's parking at the Community Centre or at nearby Mill Street YO25
6TN (73 spaces, free after 6pm). It's about a ten minute walk from Driffield
Station.

membership of the society is now only £5 with £3 admission to meetings, £4

Into
the New Year with Tom Robson presenting 'Modern Image of the Last Ten Years'. Tom got the
'railway bug' from his father Phil, his earliest memories are of being dragged
around Doncaster Carr Loco to see the scrap line of 56s and 58s. Tom's
enthusiasm for railways turned into a career, starting out at York station fresh
out of college in 2017 working for Virgin/LNER. Last year he moved to the
freight sector.
With Phil a founding member of the Yorkshire Wolds
Railway, it was natural that he should also become involved as a volunteer. He
also manages to volunteer on the Wensleydae Railway as well as fitting in his
numerous photography trips. Here are a few images from the show, please note
that they are screenshots from the meeting, so the quality is not as good as the
original images.

Following the AGM in February, Mike Waudby filled the rest of the evening with
'From the Land of the Long White Cloud to the Baltics', a journey through New
Zealand then back closer to home with scenes in Latvia and Estonia. A very
entertaining programme of traction, including some preserved steam in those
countries from around ten years ago.
