The Selby Line is a secondary[1] railway line in Yorkshire, England, linking Leeds to Selby via Micklefield and then on to Kingston upon Hull (Hull).[2] Hull Trains, London North Eastern Railway, and Northern and TransPennine Express operate passenger trains on the line.
In the second half of 2018, a 9.5miles stretch of line between and had all its semaphore signalling and signal boxes decommissioned in favour of digital control overseen by the Rail Operating Centre in York.[3] One of the crossing boxes at Crabley Creek has remained operational and worked by a Network Rail representative as the original deeds for the acquisition of the land by the railway company dictated that as long as the crossing existed, it should be staffed.[4] Most of the boxes were either boarded up or demolished, though those at Melton Lane and Gilberdyke junction were retained as welfare facilities for railway workers.[5]
