Bridlington Railway Station
Bridlington Railway Station, Station Approach, Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, YO15 3EP
The Yorkshire Coast Community Rail Partnership will have a display, and details of the history of the station and the line, from Hull to Scarborough next to The Barrowboy sculpture in the main concourse. The original station buildings and platforms (numbered 1–3) were located a few yards to the west of the current station. These consisted of a train shed designed by George Townsend Andrews and similar to his work at Filey and Beverley. Platform 3 was an extension to the original scheme and was a bay platform used for many years by the 'Malton Dodger' until the 1950s. Bridlington expanded as a resort at the start of the 20th century largely as a result of the railway. Direct trains ran from the industrial heartlands via Selby and Market Weighton in the summer. Bridlington station had seven platforms and a branch going down to the harbour for many years. The original station entrance was on station approach road. Remodelling in 1912 created the covered concourse and additional platforms for day trippers and holiday special trains. The station was designated a Grade II listed building in 2003 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. The former goods shed, built at the same time and now in commercial use, was similarly awarded Grade II listed status in 2023. The concourse has an amazing floral display maintained by the staff.
