Seamer railway station serves Seamer in North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the and North TransPennine route 63 kilometres (39 mi) east of York and the Yorkshire Coast Line. The station is currently operated by First TransPennine Express.

[edit] Services

From Seamer Monday to Saturdays there are up to two trains per hour eastbound to Scarborough and westbound generally an hourly First TransPennine Express service to York, Leeds, Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street and a two-hourly service to Bridlington and Hull on the Yorkshire Coast Line.

The Station is actually in the village of Crossgates, about 1 mile from Seamer, but takes the name of Seamer, as Cross Gates Station is already taken.

Sundays there is a two-hourly service to York and beyond and a Summer only two-hourly service to Hull.

Until Northern Rail took over in 2004, Arriva Trains Northern did have services that stopped at Seamer, the current York to Blackpool service used to continue to Scarborough alongside TransPenninexpress services. This service was usually worked by a Metro liveried Class 158 DMU, occasionally a Class 155 DMU. There was also a local service from York to Scarborough usually worked by a Pacer DMU or a Class 156.
