Scarborough Railway Station to close car park for repairs

​A passenger hub on the North Yorkshire coast is scheduled to close its car park as part of essential maintenance works taking place next week.

​TransPennine Express (TPE) has asked passengers not to use the car park at Scarborough Station on Monday, July 20.

​The rail operator said that essential maintenance works would be taking place and that vehicles could not be parked at the coastal station’s car park.

​“It is important that no vehicles are parked overnight from Sunday 19th July into Monday 20th July,” TPE noted.

​It added: “Thank you for your cooperation.”

​The company did not specify what the maintenance works are set to involve.

​Earlier this year, a £14 million project to preserve the Grade II-listed building’s historical character, including a new roof, drainage systems and restored stonework, was completed.

​Roof repairs at Scarborough Station were started after a glazing failure in 2021.

The station was made safe and, after funding constraints were overcome, the full restoration began in spring 2025.

Scarborough’s coastal location meant Network Rail had to take into account local constraints.

Hawks were employed to prevent seagulls nesting during the main roof work last summer, and specific types of tile, paint and timber were used because of the salt-heavy sea air.
