Wressle railway station is a railway station on the Selby Line that serves the village of Wressle in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated 25miles west of .
The Hull and Selby Railway was opened 2 July 1840. Wressle station does not appear to have been an original feature of the line; however a market day service from "Wressel Bridge" was recorded in 1843.[1]
The station was in full use by 1855. The station was a single storey brick structure with a verandah, located on the south platform. The spellings Wressel and Wressle have both been used, with the 'Wressle' becoming standard after around 1863.[1]
Wressle was listed for closure in the 1963 Beeching report, but remained open to avoid local hardship. The station became unstaffed in 1976.[1]
The station has very basic amenities - it has a waiting shelter on platform 1, a single customer help point on platform 2 and timetable poster boards on each side. There is no ticket machine, so passengers must buy in advance or on the train. Step-free access is available to both platforms via the level crossing at the eastern end.[2]
Seven trains a day call at Wressle (Mon-Sat) in the May 2023 timetable (mostly in peak periods); four to and three to Hull. Two of the Hull trains continue to Bridlington via Beverley. No trains call on Sundays. A normal Monday to Friday service operates on Bank holidays.
The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.
