The York to Scarborough Line runs between the city of York, England, and the town of Scarborough. Towns and villages served along the way are Malton, Norton-on-Derwent and Seamer.

[edit] Services

Services operated along this line are run by TransPennine Express. Services are roughly hourly. This is part of the North TransPennine route.

East Midlands Trains also run occasional summer services.

Scarborough also sees summer specials from York, hauled by the Flying Scotsman. However, 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 at York, seen here when 60009 'Union of South Africa' stands in for the legendary loco.
