Opened in 1840 by the Hull & Selby Railway as "Staddlethorpe", taking its present name in 1974. View west towards Selby and Goole. There used to be four lines through the station and when the outer lines were removed, the platforms were extended inwards - as the width of the footbridge suggests. The old platforms still existed when this image was taken, beyond the ends of the current platforms.
