Hull and Hornsea Railway
The Hull and Hornsea Railway was a branch line which connected the city of Kingston upon Hull with the seaside town of Hornsea. Wikipedia: Link
The line was officially opened on 28 March 1864, with trains departing from Wilmington railway station. From 1 June 1864 traffic travelled along the newly doubled Victoria Dock Branch into Paragon Station. Closure of the line came as a direct result of the Beeching Report. The last passenger train ran on 19 October 1964. Goods traffic continued to use the line as far as Hornsea Bridge until 3 May 1965.
