Scarborough Londesborough Road railway station was built as an excursion station to ease operating pressure at Scarborough Central in the holiday resort of Scarborough. It was opened on 8 June 1908 by the North Eastern Railway and was closed for passenger trains on 25 August 1963 but used for stabling coaching stock until 4 July 1966. [1]

The station building and remains of the 14 coach long platform can still be seen from trains on the Yorkshire Coast Line and on the York to Scarborough section of the North TransPennine route, on the west side of the tracks approaching Scarborough.
