CLICK HERE FOR NORTHERN RAIL TIMETABLES
Northern Rail has launched a revised timetable for train services on the Harrogate Leeds–York line,
The new timetable features adjusted train timings, with minor changes that include a handful of services being added or removed. Despite these alterations, the overall frequency of services remains in line with the schedule introduced in June.
To improve passenger convenience, the updated schedule also incorporates details of the LNER Harrogate–London King’s Cross trains, which provide six direct daily services in both directions, offering seamless travel to and from the capital.
Serving key locations such as Leeds, Harrogate, Knaresborough, and York, the Harrogate line continues to be one of the most heavily utilized routes within the Northern Rail network.
Since March 2020, the Department for Transport (DfT) has overseen the Harrogate line’s operations, which are managed under the Northern Trains brand.

Trains in Harrogate – Harrogate railway station dates back to 1862. Originally designed by the architect Thomas Prosser, the station was the first structure in Harrogate built of brick, but in the 1960s, it was largely torn down and replaced by the existing, more utilitarian building. In the summer, pretty flowerbeds and hanging gardens around the station nod to the town’s famous Harlow Carr Botanical Garden.
Trains in Harrogate arrive right in the centre of town, with the main attractions within a few minutes’ walk. Harrogate’s Turkish Baths and Health Spa have been offering visitors much-needed respite since the 1800s, and The Royal Pump Room Museum, in its grade II listed building, explores the history of what some consider to be England’s premier spa town. For food, a good bet is Betty’s Tearooms, the town’s queen of finger food located in the illustrious Montpellier Quarter, the Antiques and Art Centre of the North.
