Beverley railway station
Beverley railway station serves the town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Hull to Scarborough Line and is operated by Northern who provide most passenger services from the station. History and description. Beverley station was opened in October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway leased Bridlington branch of the Hull and Selby Railway. The original station was designed by G.T. Andrews. Beverley gained junction status nineteen years later in 1865 when the North Eastern Railway completed the Market Weighton to Beverley section of the York to Beverley  Line. The station was also planned to be the junction for the North Holderness Light Railway. This intended railway was given an Act in Parliament for 'transferring to the company the North Holderness Light Railway Company; and for other purposes, North Eastern Railway Bill [Lords].' The act was passed on 8 June 1899, but the NER never built the line. The York to Beverley Line closed as a result of the Beeching Axe on 29 November 1965. The station received listed building status in 1985. The station has a staffed ticket office, which is open Mondays to Fridays from 07:00  until 17:00 and until 13:30 on Saturdays (closed Sundays). A ticket machine is also provided. There is a waiting room and cafe in the main building next to the ticket hall and a shelter on the opposite platform. Step-free access is available to both platforms, though the southbound one is reached via a manned barrier level crossing. Train running details are offered via digital display screens and timetable posters. Services.
