Ferriby railway station - +44 (0) 845 000 0125

Ferriby railway station serves the village of North Ferriby in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern. It is situated on the former Hull and Selby Railway, 7+1/2mi west of. It has a slightly unusual layout, in that the eastbound platform is located on the main running line but the westbound one is on a loop which continues on towards. The line from towards Hull through here was quadrupled at the beginning of the 20th century by the NER but reduced to mainly double track again by British Rail in the early 1970s - the section from here westwards though kept the additional running line to allow it to serve a (now demolished) cement works next to the line at, so the westbound platform was left unaltered whereas the opposite one was extended outwards to meet the running line.FacilitiesIt is unstaffed, with no ticketing facilities and so passengers must buy these in advance of travel or on the train. The main buildings are now privately owned, but there are shelters on both platforms and a footbridge linking them. Train running details are provided by information screens, timetable posters and telephone. Step-free access is available to both platforms.ServicesThe station has a basic hourly service in each direction on weekdays, provided by the Hull to Doncaster stopping trains. Some services continue to Bridlington northbound and Sheffield or westbound.
