History
The Hull and Selby Railway was opened 2 July 1840.Template:Sfn Wressle station does not appear to have been an original feature of the line;[note 1] however a market day service from "Wressel Bridge" was recorded in 1843.Template:Sfn[1]
The station was in full use by 1855.Template:Sfn The station was a single storey brick structure with a verandah, located on the south platform. The spellings Wressel and Wressle have both been used, with the 'Wressle' becoming standard after around 1863.[1]
Wressle was listed for closure in the 1963 Beeching report, but remained open to avoid local hardship. The station became unstaffed in 1976.[1]
Facilities
The station has very basic amenities – it has a waiting shelter on platform 1, a single customer help point on platform 2 and timetable poster boards on each side. There is no ticket machine or live travel information (including audio announcements), so passengers must buy tickets in advance or on the train, keep themselves aware of train delays and double check the destination of the train before boarding. Step-free access is available to both platforms via the level crossing at the eastern end, please note that there is a gap and step up to board the train.[2]

Future service changes
From 5 December 2025 there are new timetables for all services that use or cross the East Coast Mainline (ECML) as a part of a decade long infrastructure and service improvement plan to increase the capacity and frequency of ECML services.
Services from Wressle either enter the ECML just west of Selby at Hambleton Junction or south of York at Colton Junction, there are some minor timetable changes on services Monday to Saturday. Services are expected to change calling times by a couple of minutes in either direction to fit within this timetable overhaul.
Unexpectedly, Wressle is to gain Sunday services as a part of this timetable change (subject to draft timetable changes).
Three trains will call towards York at 09:17, 13:21 & 19:15.
Two trains will call towards Hull at 17:19 & 20:18.
