First Harrogate Trains was a proposed Open Access Operator with ambitions to run passenger services between Harrogate and London King's Cross.
First Harrogate Trains was a proposal from FirstGroup and Renaissance Trains, who are the owners of First Hull Trains, as well as several other current and former train operating companies.
The application to run trains was denied by the Office of Rail Regulation in a preliminary report released in January 2009, and in a final decision in February 2009.
Had it been successful, it was intended that services would have commenced in the summer of 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word trains:
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
