These days, Barton-on-Humber is only usually served by trains between there and Cleethorpes. They call at most, and usually all stations, including Habrough.

These days, the only other station between York and Scarborough is Seamer, which is also the junction between that line and the Yorkshire Coast line to Bridlington and Hull.

Prior to publishing the first All Lines Timetable in 1974, British Rail produced individual timetable books for each Region.
On some longer-distance inter-regional routes such as Manchester to Yorkshire, the published timetables were split at a boundary location deemed convenient to the railway rather than passengers, and often this was not a terminus or particularly large station. Only the train's major origins or destinations were shown in "foreign territory" beyond this.
The LMR public timetables for Manchester/Leeds via Calder Valley had their boundary point with the ER at Sowerby Bridge.

For Shrewsbury/Llanelli via HOW trains, the LMR timetable's boundary was Craven Arms.
