Scarborough Railway Station serves the seaside
town of Scarborough
on the coast of North
Yorkshire, England. It lies 68 km (42 miles) North East of York
and North TransPennine route operated by TransPennine Express and at
the end of the Yorkshire Coast Line.
It has the longest station seat in the world at
139m.
Until 1965 the station also served a line from
the north from Whitby
and until 1950 from Pickering.
Scarborough also sees summer specials from
York, hauled by The Flying Scotsman. However at this moment,
as the Flying Scotsman is not due to be released from its overhaul
until 2008, the seaside specials have been known to be hauled by any
other available steam locomotives from York.
