Ulleskelf railway station
Ulleskelf railway station serves Ulleskelf in North Yorkshire, England. The station is south of York. History. The station opened on 29 May 1839 on the York and North Midland Railway near where it crossed the River Wharfe. It avoided the Beeching Axe in the mid 1960s due to the poor road network in the area (there being no easily accessible road bridge over the river for York-bound commuters). Today the station is unstaffed with all trains operated by Northern. Services. Sixteen trains call at Ulleskelf on weekdays and fourteen on Saturdays. Seven to York northbound (five  Saturdays) and three to Sheffield, four to Hull and two to via southbound. This is a modest improvement to past years (1990s through the late 2000s), when only a handful of peak hour services (five each way) stopped here on weekdays and Saturdays only. Thirteen service runs on Sundays, six trains to York, two to Sheffield, four to Hull and one to Selby. In December 1997, a wheelchair accessible footbridge opened.
