Yorkshire Wolds Coast Line

Hull – Scarborough

Opened by the York and North Midland Railway company in 1846/47 the line has kept much of its original character and many of the stations are a joy to behold and especially of interest to the railway historian. The line has lots to offer –  from the thriving city and port of Hull to Victorian seaside resorts such as Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough.

Along the way are quaint rural villages and thriving market towns as well as splendid views of the sea and countryside.
