The British town of Scarborough has had a total of five cliff railways, or funiculars, two of which remain open to the public. Two of these funiculars were on Scarborough's North Bay and three on South Bay; both of the North Bay railways have been demolished, and one on South Bay is extant but out of use since 2006. The other two South Cliff lifts are still operational.
The Central Tramway Company, Scarborough Limited opened the Central Tramway ) in 1880 and started operating on 1 August 1881. The funicular was operated by steam, the steam house was situated away from the top station. Since drivers had no view of the cars, they used marks on the rope to indicate the car positions.
