Proposed future developments

Over the years there have been a number of suggestions that the Malton to Pickering line might re-open either as a branch line or as part of the North York Moors Railway although as of 2023 neither of these has made any progress. Pre Covid an additional Scarborough to York service was proposed but that now appears to have been scrapped.^[48]^[49]^[50]
