Beverley railway station serves the town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. It was opened in October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway and gained junction status nineteen years later when the North Eastern Railway opened it's line to Market Weighton and York. This latter line fell victim to the Beeching Axe on 29 November 1965.

The station, which was designed by G T Andrews is now a Grade II listed building and has an elegant overall roof.

Services

The station has a basic half-hourly service to Hull and Bridlington, with nine trains a day extended to Scarborough on weekdays; this level is enhanced at peak times though, when a number of trains from the Hull direction terminate/start here. Some services to Hull continue on to Doncaster and Sheffield or York. Trains run hourly in each direction on Sundays in the summer (with two hourly extensions northbound to Scarborough), but the frequency drops significantly during the winter months (five trains to Hull and four to Bridlington only).
