Falsgrave is a suburb of Scarborough in North Yorkshire, England. Historically, the settlement of Falsgrave pre-dated the Domesday Book survey and was also the manor in the area, existing as the main administrative seat in the region long before the town of Scarborough developed. Gradually the settlement of Falsgrave became a suburb of Scarborough, and lies a little to the west of the town centre at the junction of the A64, A170 and A171 roads. Parts of the suburb were designated as a conservation area in 1985.

Scarborough Londesborough Road railway station

Scarborough Londesborough Road railway station, originally called Washbeck Excursion Station, was built as an excursion station to ease operating pressure at Scarborough Central in the holiday resort of Scarborough. It had a through and a bay platform. Excursion trains from all over the country could be routed into it rather than the main Central station to disembark their passengers before heading onwards to the Whitby branch line to be stabled in carriage sidings at Northstead/Gallows Close on the town's northern outskirts. Return services would follow the same route in the opposite direction to load up before departure. It was opened on 8 June 1908 by the North Eastern Railway, but it was not advertised in public timetables until 1933, after it had been upgraded to a public station. It had one through platform which could handle a 14-carriage train, and a south-facing end platform which could handle 11-carriage trains. It was closed to passenger trains by British Railways on 25 August 1963, but remained in use for stabling coaching stock until its official closure on 4 July 1966.The station building and the remains of the 14 coach long platform can still be seen from trains on the Yorkshire Coast Line and on the York to Scarborough section of the North TransPennine route on the west side of the tracks approaching Scarborough. However, most of the platform has been demolished due to the construction of a new service depot for TransPennine Express trains.
