Scarborough's Grand Hotel was evacuated on Monday morning after staff received a bomb threat.
Read MoreThe Transport Secretary has added to growing speculation over the future of the eastern leg of HS2, saying ministers will not "blindly follow" plans drawn up almost two decades ago.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Grant Shapps signalled that a major rethink of the high-speed rail project between Birmingham and Leeds could be in order.
He told the paper: "We want to make sure we get trains to Leeds in a way that actually benefits people on the network and not blindly follow some plan invented 15 to 20 years ago which no longer benefits people."
Construction work on phase one of the high-speed rail project from London to Birmingham is ongoing.
Phase 2a is planned to run from Birmingham to Crewe, and phase 2b from Crewe to Manchester, and from Birmingham to Leeds.
But after the government-commissioned Oakervee Review warned last year that the final bill for HS2 could reach £106bn at 2019 prices, there were concerns that the eastern leg of phase 2b could be scrapped.
This was further compounded when the National Infrastructure Commission said in December that the focus should be on regional connectivity.
Mr Shapps told the Financial Times the creation of the Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) scheme, which is aimed at connecting cities in the region on an east-west route, should also be taken into account.
On Monday, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "It wouldn't be right for me to comment ahead of the plan being published.
"We'll set out exactly how major rail projects such as HS2 phase 2b and other projects such as Northern Powerhouse Rail will work together to deliver the reliable train services passengers of North and Midlands need and deserve."
Shadow Transport Secretary Jim McMahon called Mr Shapps' comments "insulting".
Guests are being allowed back into Scarborough's Grand Hotel and adjacent properties after an earlier evacuation.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "Specialist teams conducted thorough checks of the building and surrounding area and have found no evidence of any threat to public safety.
"Access to the building has now been authorised, staff and guests have been allowed to return and the cordon has been removed."

Swimmers can now take a dip in Ilkley Lido , externalas part of pool tests checking the site's £1.4m refurbishment.
Bradford Council wouldn't normally open the lido at this time of year, however the pool has to be filled with water in order to carry out tests after the maintenance.
It will be open between 4 and 17 October, and booking isn't necessary.
Bradford Council's Danny McLellan says: "We've opened for a bit of a test period for two weeks as we couldn't open in the summer so it's nice to see it being used again after lockdown.
"Originally it was supposed to be a bit of a re-surfacing job but as the work progressed we found the filtration system wasn't great either, so we had to fix that as well. It's taken a lot longer than expected."
A wet suit and a swim cap are recommended in water which is below 15°C and swimmers should only spend a maximum of 20 minutes if it dips below 12°C. The lido will close at temperatures below 10°C.

North Yorkshire's Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner is being accused of being "insincere" over his apology for saying women should be "more streetwise" in the wake of Sarah Everard's murder.
The Fire Brigades Union in North Yorkshire says it has now written an open letter to Philip Allott after an "unprecedented reaction" from members to the commissioner's remarks on BBC Radio York last week.
Steve Howley, secretary of the FBU in North Yorkshire, joined calls for him to resign.
He told BBC Radio York: "The letter clearly identifies the course of action we feel, the women in service feel, that Mr Allott should take to rectify this situation."
Mr Allott, who oversees the county's fire service as well as North Yorkshire Police, issued another statement at the weekend in which he reiterated his heartfelt apology for his remarks which he says he realises were "misconceived and insensitive".
The Bishop of Ripon has also joined calls for Mr Allott to resign.
Dr Helen-Ann Hartley told BBC Radio York: "To make those comments, which end up blaming the victim and bearing in mind the offender was a serving police officer, I think has completely undermined any confidence that one might have in Mr Allott and as a result I think his role is untenable."
An online petition calling for the commissioner to resign has now been signed by more that 6,500 people.
