Scarborough Railway Station serves the seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire, England.

It lies 42 miles (68 km) east of York and is one of the eastern termini on the North TransPennine route operated by First TransPennine Express. The station is also at the northern end of the Yorkshire Coast Line.
Platforms 3-5 are partly covered, as is platform 1, which features the longest railway bench in the world at152 yards (139 m) in length- as shown in this blip.

Until 1965 the station also served a line from Whitby and until 1950 from Pickering. The station was previously named Scarborough Central to distinguish it from Scarborough Londesborough Road, now closed, on the York to Scarborough Line.
