Howden railway station serves the town of Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the town in the hamlet of North Howden and is 22 1⁄4 miles (35.8 km) west of Hull Paragon. The station is managed by Northern, but is also served by TransPennine Express and Hull Trains.
History
The station was originally opened by the Hull and Selby Railway on 1 July 1840 as Howden and Bubwith.[1] It was renamed to Howden on 16 April 1869, and to North Howden on 1 July 1922.[1] It was again renamed to Howden on 12 June 1961.[1] In 1987 it was designated a Grade II listed building and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[2]
Services
The station now has a regular frequency service (approximately hourly each way), thanks to recent improvements in the York to Hull line timetable. All westbound trains call at Selby and then continue to either York (Northern) or London Kings Cross (Hull Trains). There is also a limited service to Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly (a.m. peak only). Eastbound there is at least one departure per hour to Hull provided by the various operators that call there.[3]
On Sundays, five services are provided by Hull Trains and eight services are provided by Northern in each direction at various points throughout the day.
