Special charter trains to and from Hull and the East Riding are starting to be promoted for 2022, over the coming months as more are announced they will be added to this webpage.
2022 is the 175th Anniversaries of the opening of the Hull to Scarborough railway line, completed in Autumn 1847.
The line opened in 2 stages Hull to Bridlington and Scarborough to Filey in 1846, but the hardest section over the Yorkshire Wolds not until 16th October 1847. (Filey to Bridlington via Hunmanby)
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 the 175th Anniversaries of our local railway history did not take place.
Scarborough's, first railway line from York via Malton, opened in 1845, (175th Anniversary was in 2020)
Filey's connection to the railway network in 1846, (175th Anniversary was in 2021)
and likewise, the line to what was then Burlington (now Bridlington), in 1846 (175th Anniversary was again in 2021)
If you belong to a local group or society, why not put on an event to mark the 175th Anniversary of the local railway? Please send details through to
