Ulleskelf railway station


Ulleskelf railway station serves Ulleskelf in North Yorkshire, England. The station is south of York.

History

The station opened on 29 May 1839 on the York and North Midland Railway near where it crossed the River Wharfe. It avoided the Beeching Axe in the mid 1960s due to the poor road network in the area. Today the station is unstaffed with all trains operated by Northern.

Accidents and incidents

Sixteen trains call at Ulleskelf on weekdays and fourteen on Saturdays. Seven to York northbound and three to Sheffield, four to Hull and two to via southbound. This is a modest improvement to past years, when only a handful of peak hour services stopped here on weekdays and Saturdays only.
Thirteen service runs on Sundays, six trains to York, two to Sheffield, four to Hull and one to Selby.
In December 1997, a wheelchair accessible footbridge opened.
