Trains to Seamer - Station Details and further Information on Seamer Train Services
Seamer train station serves Seamer in North Yorkshire, England. It lies at the end of one branch of the North TransPennine route 39 miles east of York at its junction with the northern end of the Yorkshire Coast Line. The station is currently operated by First TransPennine Express.
It was opened on 7 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway and became a junction when a branch line to Filey was opened the following year (5 October 1846). Its island platform configuration was chosen to make it easier for passengers to change between the two routes here rather than continuing into Scarborough to do so. A second branch line from the station (the Forge Valley Line to Pickering) was opened by the NER on 1 May 1882, but this closed to passengers on 5 June 1950 and was lifted soon after.
The station is actually sited between the communities of Eastfield and Crossgates, about one mile from Seamer. It took the name of Seamer since there was already a Cross Gates train station in West Yorkshire.
From Seamer Monday to Saturdays there are up to two trains per hour eastbound to Scarborough and westbound generally an hourly First TransPennine Express service to York, Leeds, Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street and a two-hourly (with peak extras) Northern Rail service to Bridlington and Hull on the Yorkshire Coast Line.
Sundays there is a two-hourly service to York and beyond and a summer-only two-hourly service to Hull. |
