Rawcliffe railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Rawcliffe in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station is located on the Pontefract Line.
The line passing through here was once a busy passenger and freight link to the inland port of Goole (the line and station first being opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on 1 April 1848) but since the mid-1980s much of the traffic that once used this route has disappeared. The route is single track between Template:Rws and Goole, the level crossing here has been automated and the rail-served freight terminal in Goole docks sees little use. The station has also been downsized and its signal box demolished.
The former five trains each way per day service of the late 1980s (see British Rail National Passenger Timetables from May 1988–90) was cut in half in 1991 (due to shortage of rolling stock) and again in 2004, leaving only a residual "Parliamentary" minimum timetable in operation east of Template:Rws to avoid the need for statutory closure proceedings – a situation that remains unchanged to this day.[1]
Facilities
The station is unstaffed with only part of the one remaining platform in use (though the defunct station building still stands and is used as a private residence). A single waiting shelter, timetable poster board and public telephone are the only facilities provided. Tickets can only be purchased in advance or on the train, as there is no ticketing provision. Step-free access is available between the car park and platform.[2]
Services
Rawcliffe is served by a limited service of 3 trains per day Monday-Saturday only. There are 2 trains per day to Leeds (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening) and 1 train per day to Goole (in the evening only). The station is not served on Sundays.[3]
