Peasholm railway station

Peasholm railway station

Peasholm railway station is the southern terminus station of the Scarborough's North Bay Railway. It opened to the public in 1931.

Although named after Peasholm Park, the station is not located in Peasholm Park, but is actually situated across Burniston Road, in Northstead Manor Gardens - part of the historic Manor of Northstead.

The station features a single platform with a parallel carriage siding. There is also a balloon loop, to reverse and turn engines, and a small engine shed.

In 2007 the operating company announced plans to rebuild the station during the winter of 2007/2008, providing enhanced passenger and staff facilities, including an enlarged Booking Office and a new Cafeteria facility.
