Opened in 1912 for the North Eastern Railway to replace the Hull and Hornsea's original Wilmington Station (opened 1864) to the east of Stoneferry Road. Wilmington had a wooden island platform and waiting shelter accessed via a subway from the booking office on Foster Street. Freight services to and from the docks continued to use the line until its complete closure in 1969. The ground level booking office is now in use as the Wilmington Railway Café.
