In 1913, the charming, seductive and sinister vampire Count Dracula travels to England in search of an immortal bride
This remake of the classic Bram Stoker gothic horror is more lavish than others and features a very atmospheric night scene on the Bluebell Railway. It was the turn of Sheffield Park station to this time masquerade as ‘Whitby’, and visible through the windows of the signal box amidst much smoke and steam is the arriving train, hauled by SECR C Class 0-6-0 No.592. The coaches of the train carry fictitious ‘Eastern Yorkshire’ branding.
