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:
“Conventions, at the present moment, are really menaced. The most striking sign of this is that people are now making unconventionality a social virtue, instead of an unsocial vice. The switches have been opened, and the laden trains must take their chance of a destination.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
