access to the platform from the station entrance and ticket hall. A cafe and taxi office are also located within the main building. Future There has been talk of reopening the old line between Rillington Junction and Pickering for some years, most notably in 2003, but no attempt has come to fruition. There was a petition on 10 Downing Street to reopen the line and upgrade the North Yorkshire Moors railway to cope with higher speeds (40-50 mph as opposed to 25 mph), to improve transport in the region, and to provide relief for the A64 more cheaply than dualling it in its entirety. From time to time the prospect of extending the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line from Pickering to Malton is raised. However, this is not in the immediate vision of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
