Grand Central announced the increase in services as part of a northern expansion plan, which includes both the North East and West Yorkshire.
The company submitted an application to the office of rail and road (ORR) on May 21, and has since begun consultation with the rest of the rail industry ahead of the expansion.
The proposals include an additional early morning departure from York to London King's Cross, and a late-evening return service. Grand Central said these additional trains will provide more than 195,000 seats a year.
