Bempton railway station

Last updated

1+12 miles (2.4 km) away to the east).

Contents

The station formerly had two platforms and a signal box (which supervised the now automated level crossing here), but the second platform has been disused since the Bridlington to Hunmanby section was singled in 1969. Goods sidings and weighbridge were located immediately north of the station.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed, with a basic shelter on the single platform and a ticket machine located at the entrance to the platform. The station house is now in private ownership. Step-free access is available to the platform from the adjacent road. [2]

Services

From May 2019, the service has been increased to hourly in both directions all week (from the former nine each way per weekday and six each way on Sundays that operated previously). [3] Most southbound trains continue to Doncaster and Sheffield.
