York railway station is a main-line railway station in the city of York, England. It lies on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) 188.5 miles (303 km) north of London's King's Cross station towards Edinburgh's Waverley Station. Originally it was part of the North Eastern Railway. York is one of the most important railway junction stations on the British railway network, approximately halfway between London and Edinburgh; it is also a few miles north of the point where the Cross Country and Trans-Pennine routes via Leeds leave the ECML. The junction was historically a major site for rolling stock manufacture, maintenance and repair. The station is operated by East Coast on behalf of Network Rail, and provides services to: Doncaster, Retford, Grantham, Newark, Peterborough, Stevenage, London and other stations on the ECML south Darlington, Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness and other stations on the ECML north Leeds, Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham, Bristol via CrossCountry services on to Exeter and Plymouth Harrogate and Knaresborough (going on to Leeds) on the Harrogate Line Liverpool, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport to the west and Middlesbrough to the north via First TransPennine Express services Hartlepool, Eaglescliffe and Sunderland via Grand Central Railway Bradford, Halifax, Hebden Bridge and stations to Preston and Blackpool or Manchester Victoria by Northern Rail's commuter services Leicester, Kettering, Bedford, Luton and other stations on the Midland Main Line served by East Midlands Trains through Sheffield. Hull on the Hull to York Line (One train continues to Bridlington), Selby, and Scarborough on the North TransPennine Line to the east. The station is used by the following TOCs East Coast - Inter-City 225 (Class 91 electric locomotive and DVT) and Inter-City 125 (HST) services between London and the North East and Scotland. First TransPennine Express - Class 185 "Pennine" diesel multiple units between Manchester and Liverpool and Scarborough, Newcastle or Middlesbrough. Northern Rail - assorted Sprinter (Class 15x) and Pacer (Class 14x) diesel multiple units operating 'stopping' services across Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire. CrossCountry - Class 220 and Class 221 'Voyager' diesel multiple units on cross-country services linking the Midlands and South West with the North East, South East Wales and Scotland. They also now operate intercity 125 HSTs. East Midlands Trains - very limited weekend-only service, run by Class 222 Meridian diesel multiple units. East Midlands Trains terminate at York in the winter and run on to Scarborough in the summer. East Midlands Trains offers an alternative (but much slower) route to the South along the Midland Main Line via Leicester to London St Pancras (now the home of Eurostar international services). Grand Central - Inter-City 125 between London and the North East and Sunderland.
