Services
Services operated along this line are run by TransPennine Express. Services are roughly hourly. This is part of the North TransPennine route.
Rolling stock on this line has consisted almost entirely of Class 185 DMUs since early 2007.
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 2011, the seaside specials have been known to be hauled by any other available steam locomotives at York such as 60009 'Union of South Africa'.
There is also talk of reinstating the pre-1965 link to Pickering in order to connect the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to the national network from its southern end, Allowing trains from Malton and beyond to reach Whitby. Such a move has been considered but does not seem likely for the foreseeable future.
