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:
“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
