Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive at the station approximately 10 minutes before your desired departure time to ensure you get a seat.
- Consider purchasing a Road & Rail ticket with Viscount Travel for scenic views along the seafront to reach the railway.
- Bring cash for dog fares, as while the site is cashless for most purchases, the dog fare might be an exception.
- Check the departure times for both Peasholm Station and Scalby Mills Station in advance, as you can split your journey and use the remainder of your ticket on the same day.
- While the railway has food and drink options, public toilets are a short walk away from Peasholm Station, so plan accordingly.
