The line was sanctioned in 1846 and the first part, the York to Market Weighton Line opened in 1847. Construction of the second part to Beverley was delayed for 17 years delayed in part by the downfall of George Hudson, and a less favourable financial environment following the collapse of the 1840's railway bubble; the North Eastern Railway revived and completed the scheme in the 1860s; the Market Weighton to Beverley Line opened in 1865. The line left the York and Scarborough Railway at a junction north of York and turned eastward, crossing the largely flat terrain of the Vale of York via Stamford Bridge, Pocklington and Market Weighton before making its way through a hillier ground through a gap in the Yorkshire Wolds, between Market Weighton and Goodmanham; the line the ran steadily downhill to the River Hull valley past Cherry Burton to a junction with the Hull to Scarborough Line at Beverley. Market Weighton became the junction of two other railways, the Selby to Market Weighton Line, sanctioned at the same time as original York-Beverley scheme, and opened in 1848; and the Scarborough, Bridlington and West Riding Junction Railway (Market Weighton to Driffield), opened in 1890 The line once was a preferred route for trains running directly between the English cities of York and Kingston upon Hull. Before closure the route Hull-Beverley-Market-Weighton-York had daily direct trains and was often referred to as the Hull-York Line. The line was recommended for closure in the 1963 Beeching report and closed in November 1965. ==History== 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「York to Beverley Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
