Scarborough Central station opened on 7th July
1845 connecting Scarborough with York. The station was designed by G.T. Andrews
and was extended in 1883 to accommodate excursion traffic and links to
Pickering (1882) and Whitby (1885). Further expansion occurred into the
twentieth century. The Pickering line closed in 1950 and the line to Whitby closed
in 1965.
