Filey railway station is a grade II * listed station opened in 1846 on the Hull to Scarborough Line, which serves the town of Filey in North Yorkshire, England. It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. ==History== The station was on the York and North Midland Railway's branch from its York to Scarborough Railway (opened 1845) at Seamer to Bridlington, part of which connected to the Hull and Selby Railway (Bridlington branch) at Bridlington; both branches were sanctioned in 1845 and opened in 1846.〔See York to Scarborough Railway and Hull to Scarborough Railway〕 The station building was completed in 1846 to the designs of G.T. Andrews; a single storey red brick structure with slate roof and sandstone dressings, with a 7 bay main entrance projected from the station. The platforms were long. The trainshed roof was common Andrew's design using a wrought iron truss structure supporting a wood and slate roof. The first train ran from Seamer station on 5 October 1846, arriving at 1 pm, with a large celebration and dinner including the presence of George Hudson. The regular service began the following day. The rail facilities at Filey also included a goods shed, also an Andrew's design, on the opposite side of the level crossing northwest of the station,〔Ordnance Survey. 1:2500. 1891〕 and a coal depot with sidings to the south east of the station, and a gas works adjacent to it.〔Ordnance Survey. 1:2500. 1891, 1911, 1928〕 In circa the 1870 an NER footbridge was added. The platforms were extended in 1888 to , then to in 1906, timber platform extensions were also added later, giving a platform length of at peak. In the 19th century there were also ticket platforms. Goods traffic to Filey ceased in 1964, as part of the Beeching reforms. In the 1960s one end of the hipped roof was removed along with the ventilated roof lantern, the other end in the 1970s. In 1985 the building was given listed building status.〔 In 1988 BR sought planning permission to remove the roof entirely but was refused, instead the roof was reconstructed including the hipped ends, at an eventual cost of over £450,000 funded by BR, heritage bodies, and the town and borough councils. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Filey railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
