Wressle railway station is a railway station on the Selby Line that serves the village of Wressle in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

History

The Hull and Selby Railway was opened 2 July 1840.[1] Wressel station does not appear to have been an original feature of the line;[note 1] however a market day service from "Wressel Bridge" was recorded in 1843.[2][3]

The station was in full use by 1855.[2] The station was a single storey brick structure with a verandah, located on the south platform. The spellings Wressel and Wressle have both been used, with the 'Wressle' becoming standard after around 1863.[3]

Wressle was listed for closure in the 1963 Beeching report, but remained open to avoid local hardship. The station became unstaffed in 1976.[3]

Services

Up to six trains a day call at Wressle; three to York and two to Hull (one of which continues to Scarborough) with an extra Hull train on weekdays. No trains call on Sundays.

The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.
