The Hull to Scarborough Line, also known as the Yorkshire Wolds Coast Line is a minor railway line in northern England used primarily for passenger traffic. It runs northwards from Hull Paragon via Beverley and Driffield to Bridlington, joining the York to Scarborough Line at a junction near Seamer before terminating at Scarborough railway station. The line was built in the 1840s, and formed by lines sanctioned by three separate acts: the southern part from a junction on the Hull and Selby Railway was a branch of that railway, and ran to Bridlington; the line from Bridlington to Seamer Junction was promoted by the York and North Midland Railway (Y&NMR); and the section from Seamer to Scarborough was part of the Y&NMR's York to Scarborough Line. The lines route has been mostly unaltered since opening with the exception of the route into Hull which was modified soon after opening with the addition of about 5 miles of track leading to the new Paragon station, which opened in 1848. The line has been part of the Y&NMR, NER, LNER and British Railways. As of 2014 trains on the line are operated by Northern Rail ==History== In the 1840s the Hull and Selby Railway (H&S) was promoting a branch line to Bridlington,〔 and planning other branches in the East Riding – in the same period the York and North Midland Railway (Y&NMR) were planning a branch to the town from their line to Scarborough. This, and a desire to control the H&S's main line into Hull led the Y&NMR to seek and obtain a lease on the H&S. Acts allowing the construction of the H&S's and Y&NMR's branches were passed by parliament on the same day, 23 June 1845;〔〔 and the lease of the H&S to the Y&NMR came into effect on 1 July 1845.〔The lease and potential acquisition of the Hull and Selby was formalised by an act of parliament of 1846 in July 1846. See Hull and Selby Railway §(1845–54)〕 A connection between the Hull-Bridlington and Bridlington-Seamer lines was obtained by exploiting the maximum deviations of the submitted plans. 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「Hull to Scarborough Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
