- A look at the lost Hull and Holderness railway line that ran from Hull (Victoria) to Withernsea! It was a branch line in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England that connected the city of Kingston upon Hull with the seaside resort of Withernsea via the town of Hedon and the villages of Keyingham and Patrington. The line originally began at the York and North Midland Railway's Victoria Dock station and ran east, passing Hedon to the north; it then turned south-east, passing Burstwick to the south, halfway between Ottringham and Ryehill, then the line passed Keyingham to the north and then east and south to Patrington, before entering Withernsea, which was to the north-east, and in which the line terminated.
Feel free to check out my other lost lines!

How wonderful. Brilliantly done. Thankyou
This shows the route as opened in 1854 but from 1864, 2 years after being aquisitioned by the NER trains were diverted from Victoria Dock Station into Hull Paragon via the Victoria Dock Branch. When King George Dock opened in 1914, a new section of line was opened between Southcoates station and Marfleet to avoid a bottle neck. The bridge over the river Hull was replaced by a new swing bridge after Wilmington station opened in 1907 to replace the original swing bridge which had become a bottle neck. Wilington station in turn replaced Sculcoats station where the goods building is still there.
Enjoyed this very much. I lived in Preston as a kid and my dad, Bud Slade was brought up in Withernsea. He was a 'trolley boy' at the station on Friday nights taking peoples' bags from the station to their digs. He told me of Crazy Nights at one of the town's hotels... How the trains would be full to bursting on weekends... Can't imagine it, but the town 'rocked' on a Friday and Saturday night around 1935 - All the best to you... Such a lot of hard work! CS
Thanks Chris! Love the insight!
Fascinating, many thanks. A small single storey house visible at 3.36 is called "Baulk Cottage". Although the trains no longer rattle its crockery, the main A1033 road passes by. The cottage is actually a dedicated stop for the 75/X7 East Yorkshire Hull-Withernsea buses. At the time of writing it's actually for sale for a piddling £65,000. Forget who the broker is...
The crossing was called Ottringham Baulk the crossing keepers home.
@@Graham196 Yes, back in the day when level-crossings were actually manned...
Excellent, loved it.
Such a shame that probably over 90% was still there & usable!🥺
Message your MP then that's the only way you'll get lines reopened just like here in Scotland we pester our MSPS lol
After Marfleet that would've passed across holderness Rd.. towards Wilmington swing Bridge then round to paragon Station...not to the old timber yards where this finishes..just saying as I remember the wooden crossing on holderness Road...trains from Withernsea ran under it my grandad told me that
❤
Finally you have done it 😂
This is the route as built by the Hull and Holderness Railway opened June 1854 and operated by them until 1859, then from 1860 when the NER operated the line. Then in 1862 the NER acquired the line; a short connecting chord was built that allowed trains to run through onto the dock branch, and, from 1864, services ran to Paragon station in the city centre via the Victoria Dock Branch Line.
Oh please please bring the railway back. You will regret closing it in years to come. Beeching knew nothing about Social geography
The decision to close has been reretted since the mid 60's 😢😢😢😢😢😢
