Scarborough Londesborough Road railway station was built as an excursion station to ease operating pressure at Scarborough Central in the holiday resort of Scarborough. It was opened on 8 June 1908 by the North Eastern Railway and officially closed on 4 July 1966. However, the last train had run nearly three years earlier, on 25 August 1963.

The remains of the 14 coach long platform can still be seen from trains on the Yorkshire Coast Line and on the York to Scarborough section of the North TransPennine route, on the west side of the tracks approaching Scarborough.
