The failed bid to get to levelling up funding for Seamer Railway station could be resubmitted.
The £25 million pound bid was part of a larger £39m bid that would also have seen work at Scarborough and Thirsk stations but the cash wasn't approved in last months round of government levelling up funding.
North Yorkshire County Council's executive member for Transport - Councillor Keane Duncan says they will try again.
The £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 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.
The total bid being made to the fund was for £39m including an additional £5.4m scheme to make improvements at Thirsk railway station.
Councillor Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff says there has been frustration with the way projects have been assessed.
The Government handed out £2.1bn for levelling up projects last month but the only place in North Yorkshire to receive funding was the Prime Minister own constituency of Richmondshire where Richmondshire District Council received £19 million to transform Catterick Garrison town centre.
