From the level crossing

Eastrington railway station serves the small village of Eastrington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station is 19+1⁄4 miles (31 km) west of Hull on the Selby Line. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.

History

The station was opened 1 July 1840 by the Hull and Selby Railway.[1] It was renamed on 1 July 1922 to "South Eastrington", as the village was also served by another station, known as "North Eastrington" on the now-disused Hull and Barnsley Railway.[1] It was renamed back to Eastrington on 12 June 1961.[1]

Facilities

The station is unstaffed and has no permanent buildings other than basic shelters (the former station house is now a private residence). No ticketing facilities are offered, so all tickets must be bought on the train or prior to travel. Train running information can be obtained from timetable posters or a public telephone on platform 2. Step-free access is available to both platforms via the automatic barrier level crossing at the western end.[2]

Service

There is a very limited service from Eastrington, with one train a day eastbound to Hull and four trains a day westbound to York. There is no Sunday service.[3]
