Trains to Malton - Station Details and further Information on Malton Train Services
Malton train station serves the towns of Malton and Norton-on-Derwent in North Yorkshire, England. It is currently operated by First TransPennine Express who provide all passenger train services.
Though Malton station now only has one platform in use, at its peak there were two through platforms, plus an additional bay platform serving (mainly) Whitby local trains. The George Townsend Andrews overall roof was removed in 1989 and replaced by the canopy recovered from the Whitby platform.
One of Malton stations claim to fame was the novel solution adopted to allow passengers to access the second (island) platform, instead of a footbridge or barrow crossing the NER installed a removable section of platform, in the form of a wheeled trolley running on rails set at right-angles to the (single) running line. When a train required to use the platform the trolley was wheeled back under the up (York) platform; the trolley was interlocked with the signals giving access to the platform.
Until Northern Rail took over in 2004, Arriva Trains Northern did have services that stopped at Malton, the current York to Blackpool service used to continue to Scarborough alongside TransPenninexpress services. There was also a local service from York to Scarborough. |
