Getting to Scarborough

By road

All routes to Scarborough get very congested on summer weekends. The main approach is along A64, which forks off A1(M) to pass York and Malton. Expect to hit tailbacks just east of York where the dual carriageway narrows to single.

By train

TransPennine Express trains run hourly from Manchester Victoria, via Huddersfield, Leeds, York and Malton. From London and the Midlands change at York. Reservations are needed for bicycles. Northern Rail trains run every two hours from Hull via Beverley, Bridlington, Bempton (for Flamborough Head) and Filey. On summer weekends these trains are packed with families heading to the seaside.

By bus

From London Victoria change at Leeds for the Coastliner, 10 hours in all. Yorkshire Coastliner 843 runs hourly from Leeds via Tadcaster, York and Malton. East Yorkshire Bus 41 runs every 30 min from Hull via Beverley and Driffield to Bridlington. Change there for the hourly 12 / 13
