Whitby Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Whitby is 230 miles from London and 45 miles from York.

Buses 93 and 93A run to/from Scarborough (one hour, hourly), and to Middlesbrough (about hourly), with fewer services on Sunday. Yorkshire Coastliner (buses 840 and X40) runs between Whitby and Leeds (£9.20, three hours, seven per day) via Pickering and York.

If you’re coming from the north, you can get to Whitby by train along the Esk Valley line from Middlesbrough (£10.70, 1½ hours, four per day). From the south, it’s easier to get a train from York to Scarborough, then a bus from Scarborough to Whitby.
