A bid to get government levelling up cash to improve Scarborough and Seamer railways stations also depends on plans for improvements at Thirsk station being accepted.
North Yorkshire Cunty Council has bid for the cash.
Executive Member for Transport - Councillor Keane Duncan - says the three schemes will be assessed as a package.
The proposal at Scarborough station is to provide a transport hub to help to regenerate the station, reinvigorate a historic part of the town and strengthen connections between the station, town centre and seafront. It would host facilities including cycle storage, hire, repair and amenities, bus stands and waiting areas, taxi booking stands, electric vehicle rental facilities and commercial space. The £8.4m hub proposal is part of a wider plan for the station and surrounding area led by Scarborough Borough Council.
A £25.2m project at Seamer station would provide a new pedestrian and cycle link connecting the station to residential sites in the west, a new three-span open footbridge across the rail line and A64, including lifts to platforms one and two, and a new station car park to the east of the track on to the A64. The scheme would improve safety, enhance access to work places and business opportunities and increase station passenger demand.
The total bid being made to the fund is for £39m including an additional £5.4m scheme to make improvements at Thirsk railway station.
Councillor Duncan says he thinks it's vital the government provide levelling up cash for improvements to Scarborough and Seamer stations.
Keane Duncan says if the government is serious about levelling up then they need to approve the £39m bid for the three projects.
