Staddlethorpe station was a railway station opened in 1840 by the Hull and Selby Railway. In 1975 the station was renamed Gilberdyke railway station. It is operated by Northern Rail and serves the village of Gilberdyke in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. ==History== Staddlethorpe station was opened by the Hull and Selby Railway in 1840. The original facilities included a water station, with a reservoir and pumping engine.〔 , (alt. link )〕 In 1842 a train guard slipped in wet weather, falling off the platform under moving coal wagons, resulting in very serious injuries leading to his death. In 1850 a train from Hull to Normanton had one of its engine's boilers explode near the station. Both the driver and fireman were badly scalded, and the fireman broke a leg. In 1869 the Hull and Doncaster branch opened, branching southwestwards from a junction just west of the station.〔Ordnance Survey. 1:2500. 1890〕 At around the end of the 19th century a goods shed, and sidings serving a creosote works were established south of the station. In the same period the line through was increased to 4 tracks.〔〔Ordnance Survey. 1:2500. 1909〕 The reservoir was filled in in 1903. The works and area south of the station was redeveloped as an industrial estate in the 1970.〔Ordnance Survey. 1:2500. 1970-1, 1981〕 From 7 January 1975 the station became known as Gilberdyke station. In 2006 a planning application was accepted for the demolition of the goods shed and the erection of three industrial units split into eighteen smaller business units. 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「Gilberdyke railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
