Charles Dickens was a frequent visitor to Malton in the 1840s. His brother, Alfred, was a civil engineer on the York-Malton-Scarborough railway, and lived in the town during its construction. Charles Dickens' close friend, Charles Smithson, was a solicitor in the town. Dickens was said to have...

I just got my information from the Trainline website which puts Bristol-Weymouth at 58 miles so they've obviously lost 30 miles somewhere

I'm interested to know why trains travelling the 42 miles between York and Scarborough are often described as 'shuttles'. Are trains which cover similar distances, ie from London to Brighton, Manchester to Blackpool, etc also called shuttles? Bristol to Weymouth is slightly longer - is that a...

Know what you mean! I live about a couple of miles from Malton station and hear every service, but the 22.25 seems to stand out more than most

There were never any local passenger services between Settrington and Amotherby. The only through trains on this route were goods services carrying stone from Burdale Quarries, north to Teesside, and occasional summer Saturday services in the 50/60s from NE England to Butlins at Filey. All of...

The trolley crossing at Malton would’ve been a health and safety impossibility today!

Proposals to spend £300k extending the useable platform at Malton should help timings on the Scarborough line marginally. Currently not all doors are opened on the new trains when arriving from York, so added delay is caused as people onboard have to move forward in order to get off

I’m so pleased I decided not to renew my Malton-Leeds season ticket at the end of November. So far, the drive down the A64 has been a breeze compared to using this appalling service. I might reconsider renewing next year sometime if they show any sign of running the published timetable service...

I agree with others. I’m not interested in TPE’s reasons for their operational incompetence. I just want them to provide the advertised service. My £3,248 Malton/Leeds season ticket runs out this weekend, and there’s no way I’m renewing it. I’m back in the car on Monday, sharing the drive with a...

As a mere fare payer, of a season ticket from Malton to Leeds that costs well over 3 grand, I don’t understand all the reasons behind the daily failure of this appalling service. All I know is, I never know when or if I’ll get to work, or when or if I’ll get home. I don’t expect to sit down on...

Of course there is a plus side to wasting hours waiting for trains that are late or don’t arrive on the York/Scarborough service, I’ve probably only paid for about 25% of my fares thanks to delay repay.

Another disrupted day yesterday. Cancellations from Scarborough included 08.45, 16.44 and 17.44, meaning there was a 3 hour service gap between the 15.44 and the 18.44. Appalling service - my journey from Malton to Leeds was an hour late in each direction, after both my booked trains were cancelled.

A good example of the current useless TPE service is today. The service gap between Malton and Scarborough was just short of 3 hours (06.48 and 09.45). This was down to a cancellation followed by a late running service. For people like me relying on the service to get to work in Scarborough, a...

Can anyone tell me the pattern for tomorrow please?

https://www.minsterfm.com/news/local/2971687/new-train-service-for-malton-and-norton-delayed/ Now being officially reported that the new York-Malton-Scarborough Northern service has been postponed until next year. This will be a disappointment to regular users like me who can face service gaps...
